If you have a prior felony conviction and it's been one year since the completion of your jail term, probation, or parole, you can serve as a petit juror. You can serve as a juror if you have a misdemeanor conviction. You cannot serve as a juror if you have a pending criminal case. See D.C. Code Section 11-1906(b)(2)(B).
If you have a prior felony conviction that's less than 10 years since the completion of your jail term, probation, or parole, you can serve as a grand juror. You can serve as a grand juror if you have a misdemeanor conviction. You cannot serve as a grand juror if you have a pending criminal case. Please see D.C. Code Section 11-1906(b)(2)(B). Contact grandjurorhelp@dcsc.gov if you have questions.
Contact the jury staff via email at jurorhelp@dcsc.gov or via phone at (202) 879-4604 if you have a scheduling conflict that would prevent you from serving on a trial. Do not assume that you will be here for only one day; you may be selected for a trial that may last for more than one day. See Deferrals. If you experience an emergency or last-minute scheduling conflict on the day of your scheduled service, talk to one of the Juror Office staff at the front counter. Rather than assign you to a courtroom, our jury staff can excuse you for that day and reschedule your service for a better time. We do not recommend that you wait until you are seated in a courtroom for the voir dire process -- the process by which jurors are selected -- to discuss scheduling conflicts that might impede serving on a trial. Upon learning of a scheduling conflict, many judges will excuse you from that particular trial, but will direct you to reschedule your service for a more opportune time.

The Personal Information page reflects where the summons was mailed and will allow changes of address within the District of Columbia only. To enter an out-of-state address, proceed on to the questionnaire. The “Resident” page and the “Current Address” page will allow you to indicate that you no longer live in DC and to enter your non-DC address. You will then receive a formal notice of disqualification from service.
