Jury Duty

Your first day of service is normally limited to jury selection. All juries for trials scheduled during the week are selected on the first day of service, and you will be instructed when to return for the trial.

The dress code for court is general business attire. Casual attire is acceptable. However, you should not wear tank tops, shorts, or flip-flops.

If you are a person with a disability who needs any accommodation in order to participate in this proceeding, you are entitled, at no cost to you, to the provision of certain assistance. Please contact (352) 498-1200 within two (2) working days of your receipt of this jury summons; if you are hearing or voice impaired, call +1 (800) 955-8771.

You may complete the Juror Excusal and Postponement form that is included in your jury summons packet if you qualify for the excuses listed. Otherwise, follow the instructions on the form. If you need additional information or have an emergency situation that will prevent you from jury service, contact our office.

If you will receive regular pay from your employer during jury service, you are not entitled to compensation for the first three days of jury service. If you will not receive regular pay, you are entitled to receive $15 per day for the first three days of service. All jurors will receive $30 on the fourth day and each day thereafter. The Juror Compensation form included with your jury summons must be completed and turned in to the Clerk when you report.

Juror parking is provided in the parking lot across the street from the Dixie County Courthouse.
