Jury Duty Guidelines

A cafeteria/snack bar is located inside both courthouses on the first floor and inside the jury pool assembly room. For those bringing their lunch, a refrigerator and microwave are available in the jury office at either courthouse. Glass containers are not permitted.

The State of Florida uses a one day/one trial jury management system. That means that on the day you report for jury service your obligation is to be available to the court for possible selection on a trial.

If you are not selected to serve on a trial or in an ongoing selection by the end of the first day, you will not have to report again the next day. However, if on your first day you are selected on a trial or in a selection process, you must serve until the end of the trial selection process or until the judge indicates that you are no longer needed.
