Information for Jurors

You may call our jury line at (503) 526-2796 to confirm whether or not the trial is still on the docket. Please note this recording is updated the night before the trial.

• Please note that we cannot excuse you on the day of the trial. Should you have an excuse or conflict, you will still need to appear and speak with the judge. Jury selection will last approximately one and a half hours.
• If you are not selected for the jury panel, you will be free to leave. If you are selected, you can expect the trial to begin immediately. You may wish to bring some reading material and a sweater or jacket with you, as sometimes the heating/air system may not provide a comfortable temperature for all.
• If you have just received a jury subpoena and are unable to serve on jury duty, please call the jury line and leave your name, phone number, and the reason you are unable to attend. The jury clerk will return your call with further information.
• All jurors are required to serve for jury duty as scheduled. If you are over 70 years old, or have special circumstances that prevent you from being able to serve as a juror, please call the jury line.
• Jury duty fees take approximately three weeks after the court appearance date to process. Only jurors who appeared at the Court are eligible to receive juror fees. If your trial date was canceled and you did not appear, you are not eligible to receive a juror fee. If you appeared more than three weeks ago and have not been paid, please call the jury line.
• If you have been selected for jury duty and have general questions about serving as a juror, please call the jury line—(503) 526-2796.
