Jury Service – Payment Amounts & Length
Length of Service
Most trials are from one to four days, with some exceptions. Occasionally, jury selection will take a few days and the trial could last several days.
A seated juror cannot serve more than ten days, in his/her term of service. The exception would be if the tenth day occurs while seated, the juror
must finish out the trial before being excused from the remainder of his/her term of service.
Due to the number of jurors summoned, most jurors will generally appear one or two times during his/her term, but this is dependent on the
number of trials conducted. The Circuit Clerk attempts to maintain a large base for selection so no juror is called repeatedly.
Terms of Service for each year are as follows:
January 1st – April 30th
May 1st – August 31st
September 1st – December 31st
