FAQ
By law, the courts will excuse from jury duty anyone with a mental or physical condition that would keep them from serving as a juror. There is not an exemption based on age, but you may request to be excused if you have a hardship that would make it difficult to serve.
Important Reporting Instructions You can also call the Jury Information Line at (800) 998-9035. Select option #2 on the menu and follow the voice prompts. The Jury Assembly Room opens at AM on jury selection days.
(e) The parties demanding a jury trial shall deposit with the clerk or judge, at the beginning of the second and each succeeding day's session, a sum equal to that day's fees and mileage of the jury, including the fees and mileage for the trial jury panel if the trial jury has not yet been selected and sworn.
Jurors are asked to dress appropriately for a courtroom. Business or casual dress is acceptable-jeans and t-shirts are okay. Jurors are warned that temperatures in courtrooms can vary widely (both cold and hot) and are encouraged to dress appropriately. SHORTS AND TANK TOPS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN COURTROOMS.

Prospective jurors are paid fees and mileage beginning with their second day of service. You don't have to use any PTO for jury duty, you just fill out your timesheet however your HR wants but you get your full paycheck.Instead, please call our office at . You will be required to make only one appearance in court for jury selections held that day, or serve for one trial (jury selection may take more than one day). My most recent experience with CA laws is that employers are to allow employees unpaid leave for jury duty. Enter your 9 digit juror identification number (JID No.) which is located on your summons in the juror badge area, displayed on the right in enlarged format. California law does not require employers to offer paid time off for jury service. You don't have to give back money for jury service. You don't get paid right away. CA has one dayone trial jury service, meaning you show up and get assigned to a case or you're done for year.
