Employer/Employee Verification
If you need jury service verification for your employer, ask the Jury Administrator (or your Bailiff) and it will be provided for the specific date(s) and time(s) you were required to report.
If you are an employer and request information on the date(s) and time(s) an employee was required to report for Jury Duty, please contact the Jury Administrator. Jurors are instructed to "not discuss the case" to which they are assigned. The Jury Administrator can provide you with an anticipated length of time a specific Juror's time of service is required, as some cases may run longer than 10 business days.
