Understand your on-call responsibility
Your service week start date is printed on your summons form and on this website. The juror service week typically starts on Monday and ends on Friday (excluding court holidays). This means that you are placed on call for no more than 5 consecutive days. On any day of your service week, you may be asked to “report to the courthouse” to serve jury duty. If you are asked to report for service on a Thursday or Friday and you are assigned to a case on that day, you may find that the case will continue into the next week.
Know how long you may have to serve as a juror
If you are asked to report and you are assigned to a courtroom for a jury selection, you will be required to serve until you are excused by the court or selected as a juror and the case you are selected on is completed. The average trial lasts 5 to 7 days. However, this is only an average. Some trials are shorter and some MAY BE LONGER than the average, and jurors are needed for all trials, including longer trials. Do not assume that any trial you are chosen for will be shorter than average.
Arrange your schedule accordingly, or, to make other arrangements, go to "I know what to do if I cannot serve during my service week” in this checklist.
Request a change
If your circumstances change and you are not able to serve during your initial service week, be sure to request a change as soon as possible. Call (213) 972-0970 or go to Request Change(s) on this website and select a change type based on your situation: excuse, postpone, or transfer. Follow the prompts to submit your request for processing.
What is the cut-off time to make a change?
The cut off time is before 4:30 PM on the Friday before your scheduled service week. Otherwise, you are expected to be available to report for jury service as instructed.
If you do not arrange a change of your service or do not appear as instructed, you will receive a Failure to Appear notice and may be subject to a fine of up to $1,500 in addition to being required to perform your jury service.
Contact your employer as soon as possible
Notify your employer that you have been summoned to jury duty. You may show your summons form as proof, if requested. However, ensure you retain your original summons because you will be asked to bring it with you to court.
Your employer is not required to pay you while you are serving jury duty, but pursuant to California Labor Code section 230(a), your employer is prohibited from discharging or in any manner discriminating against you for taking time off to serve if you have provided reasonable notice.
Confirm your address
Before your service, you can go to Personal Info and update your address.
It is very important to make address changes before your completion of jury duty. If you are paid fees and mileage for serving, payment will be mailed to the address that we have on file.
Confirm your name
If you have a name change, you must make the change in person when you serve. You will be required to produce a government issued ID, such as a driver's license or passport, that shows your photo and correct name. Name changes take 24 hours to process in our system, so on the date that you make the name change, staff and/or the court may address you by your former name.
Confirm your emergency contact information
Go to Personal Info and enter or update your emergency contact. This is for your safety in case you have an emergency while in service at the courthouse. This information is kept confidential and will not be used for any other purpose.
Complete the juror orientation before reporting for service
Juror Online Orientation can be completed by watching the Juror Orientation Video or by calling (213) 972-0970 and entering your JID and PIN, and then select the orientation option. Juror Online Orientation will be available to you until Sunday at 9:00 PM before the start of your service week.
The orientation is no longer than 9 minutes. You must complete the entire recording to receive credit.
If you are unable to complete the online orientation for any reason, you may also read the Juror Orientation script included in the mailing with your summons before reporting for service.
I know when to start checking my reporting instructions
Check your reporting instructions between Friday 7:00 PM and before Monday 6:00 AM of the service week to fine out if you need to report to the courthouse on Monday. You should check your instructions even if Monday is a court holiday.
Reporting instructions are available on this website or by calling (213) 972-0970. Make a note of all instructions given, including the time to report. Please arrive promptly at the time stated. Note that there is information regarding the Court's dress code and security measures on your summons. Please read your summons carefully before reporting.
Your calls to (213) 972-0970 and/or logging into this website for reporting instructions are monitored. Only calls or logging in between the designated times of 7:00 PM - 6:00 AM are valid. Your failure to check for reporting instructions during your reporting week as instructed on even one day will cause a failure to appear notice to be mailed to you and your jury service will be rescheduled.
Request accommodations
Mobility impaired jurors with disabilities may request accommodation by contacting the court at the Assembly Room phone number listed on your summons form. You can also find the jury assembly room number by following this link to locate the jury personnel phone number at your courthouse.
Hearing impaired jurors may contact the Court's Telephone Center using Dialogue Text Telephone (TTY) at 1-888-354-0441.
Please make your request as soon as possible
More time allows the court to better respond to requests for accommodation.
More Information
You may also contact the Courthouse's ADA Liaison, or the Court's ADA Coordinator at (213) 633-5882. For additional information go to the court's ADA-Access Information For Persons with Disabilities webpage.
During Your Service Week

During your service week, you are on call for five consecutive days, from Monday through Friday. Each day, check your reporting instructions for the following day.
Check reporting instructions
Visit this website or call (213) 972-0970 between 7:00 PM and 6:00 AM for the next day's instructions.
How to respond to your reporting instructions
These are the different instructions you may get:
Reporting to the courthouse
The jury assembly room or the courtroom will instruct you if/when you need to return each day. (You no longer need to check reporting instructions by phone or online.)
If you are asked to report to the courthouse, and:
Proof of service for your employer
A form certifying the number of days you performed jury service will be provided to you at the completion of your service. If your employer requires weekly proof of service, you may request it from jury staff. You will not receive proof of service for days you are not required to report.
Map & Directions
Find the courthouse address, map, and parking location on your summons form and on this website. The parking is not always adjacent to the courthouse. Please review parking instructions carefully to ensure you have enough time to get from the parking lot to the courthouse and still be on time.
Free Parking
Free juror parking is available only at the lot designated on your summons form. YOU MUST BRING YOUR JURY SUMMONS OR JUROR BADGE TO ACCESS FREE PARKING. Some parking lots will require you to scan the barcode on your juror badge to enter and exit.
Report to the Jury Assembly Room
When you arrive at the courthouse, report to the jury assembly room (your reporting instructions will give you the time to report). The floor and room number can be found on your summons form under Reporting Location and on this website.
Bring your completed summons to the courthouse
It is extremely important that you fill out the paper summons form and bring it with you to the courthouse (even if you completed the on-line summons). The Juror Services Division will electronically scan and file your completed summons form.
Follow the instructions on your summons to fill out Section A, Steps 1 & 2, sign in Section G, and have it completed before you arrive for jury service.
Why is it important to have your summons form or juror badge?
Courthouse Security
When you enter the courthouse, you will go through a metal detector. Your handbag, briefcase, backpack, etc. will be x-rayed. Any item that Security decides is hazardous or a weapon will not be permitted into the building. You may be asked to leave the courthouse and return without the items, or they will be confiscated.
Examples of banned items
Objects like knitting needles, scissors, nail clippers, pocketknives, and weapons are not allowed. Metal utensils and glass containers, such as tea or juice bottles are not allowed in the courthouse.
Click here for a list of banned items.
Electronic Recording Devices
The use of cameras and recording devices inside the jury assembly room and the courtroom is prohibited. Photography of jurors is prohibited at all times.
The court will admonish you to refrain from using or posting on any social media sites while serving as a juror, in the jury assembly room, and once assigned to a courtroom. These sites include Facebook, Twitter, etc. Doing so may cause a mistrial in the case you are assigned to, and you could be subject to contempt and/or monetary sanctions.
You are not restricted from using your cell phone while serving. Be aware that your fellow jurors may not wish to overhear your conversation. Use your cell phone outside of the jury assembly room and turn it off when entering the courtroom.
Amenities
A cafeteria, snack bar, and/or vending machines for food and drinks are typically available at each courthouse. Check your summons form for amenities at the courthouse to which you have been summoned. Jurors may pack their own food and drink; however, metal utensils and glass containers are not allowed inside the courthouse. If unsure what a juror can or cannot bring, read the Courthouse Security Information in this checklist.

You may also request an excuse online by selecting My Jury Duty Portal on the jury website.
IMPORTANT
Please note that you will need to provide your request on the summons. Failure to provide a complete explanation on your summons may cause you to be automatically qualified for jury serve.
Certain jobs (truck driver, graveyard shift, etc.) can present challenges for serving jury duty. Call the jury assembly room to which you have been summoned and we will make alternative arrangements for you to serve. However, please note that once you have been assigned to a trial court you must report as ordered by that court.
