    Jury service in California involves one day or one trial physical appearance or one week of on-call service. The Court appreciates your willingness to serve as a juror, and to help the Court continue to provide this vital function of our democracy during these extraordinary times.

    You do not need any special skills or legal knowledge to be a juror. All you need is an open mind and a readiness to work with the other jurors to make decisions. You also need to be impartial - in other words, your decisions must not be influenced by personal feelings and biases.

    Please note: that if you are sick with respiratory symptoms, a fever or a cough, DO NOT come to the courthouse and DO NOT report to jury service. Jurors with these symptoms will be allowed to defer their service. See the Information for Jury Service Deferals section below for details.
