Please make certain that you listen to the entire message carefully.
Trial Jurors must call in each and every evening (Sunday – Thursday) during their service month to confirm service is required the next day.
Grand Jurors call the evening prior to their summons date only. If empaneled as a Grand juror you will be given a specific list of reporting dates and will not be required to call-in after the first day.
