No. After your enrollment and swearing in at the Moultrie Courthouse, your grand jury panel will be provided with reporting instructions to meet at the U.S. Attorneys’ Office for the remainder of your service.
Jurors can receive summons by postal mail and electronic summons (eSummons). The mailed summons always follows the eSummons. We send eSummons to prospective jurors if we have your email address in our records. The eSummons contains hyperlinks to eJuror Online Services at www.dccourts.gov/jurorservices where you can complete the questionnaire. We also send automated notifications via email and text to remind you to complete the qualification form, of upcoming service, and reporting details one (1) business day before the report date.
This information is used only to identify and remove duplicates on the master list of prospective jurors and to produce IRS Form 1099s for jurors who earn more than $600 in juror attendance fees.
Exclusion from jury service on account of race is prohibited by law. By collecting and maintaining statistics on jurors' racial identity, the Court can effectively monitor and enforce nondiscrimination in the selection of jurors. This question has absolutely no bearing on qualification for jury service.
You're entitled to receive the $50 daily juror fee if you are unemployed, self-employed, retired, or if your employer will not pay your normal salary during your jury service.
Lockers are available in the 4th floor Juror Lounge (Room 4300) for your convenience. The lockers cost $0.50 per one-time use.
Jurors may get proof of service by visiting eJuror Online Services at www.dccourts.gov/jurorservices. Log in and click on "Attendance Letter."
