If you are selected for a trial, you must provide written proof that you are a contracted worker in order to receive the full jury fee during your service. We recommend that contract workers for government agencies bring this documentation when they report for service. Documentation should be typewritten on official letterhead, and signed by the contractor or your immediate supervisor. For faster processing, please include your bar-coded jury number on the document.
Yes. A prospective juror who is 70 years of age or older may be excluded from jury service upon request; proof of age is required.
Log on to eJuror and select “Current Status” from the menu on the left. Your last date of service can be found under “Last Attended.”
If you're currently deployed or about to be deployed out of the District or out of the country, you can be excused from service. Please contact us by telephone at (202) 879-4604, by eFax at 2028790012@fax2mail.com, or by email at JurorHelp@dcsc.gov for assistance.
If you've missed your summons or deferral date, please contact the Juror Office at 202-879-4604. Failure to report for jury service as directed places you in failure to appear status (FTA) status and must be resolved quickly to avoid a possible hearing to show cause for not appearing for jury service. Jurors must speak directly with a jury staff member to obtain a new date to serve. You will not be able to access eJuror or the Automated Deferral Line while in FTA status. Please note that under ordinary circumstances, jurors requiring routine assistance with their jury service may leave a voice mail (202) 879-4604 or email message (JurorHelp@dcsc.gov) for assistance, but FTA juror matters are extremely time-sensitive and should be handled immediately, so please call.
Please tell your foreperson as soon as possible of your need to be excused from sessions so that the Court can adequately plan for your absence. Your foreperson will then refer your request to the Grand Jury Specialist for approval. Approval of requests to be excused from grand jury sessions will be based on the number of jurors present to transact business in your absence. Last-minute requests to be excused must be supported by written documentation of medical appointments, travel plans, etc. Please note that the Court may provide proof of your attendance dates upon request from your employer.
