After 6:00 p.m. on the evening immediately preceding your scheduled jury service, you must call the Jury Clerk’s office to check a recording that will indicate whether you will need to report for jury service.  This recording will either indicate that the trial will proceed and you will need to report, or the trial was cancelled and you do not need to report.

If you have a physical injury or disability which would prevent you from serving as a juror, the Court requires written documentation from your physician to excuse your attendance.
