Have Jury Duty Questions? We’re Here to Help!
Jury service is an important and critical civic duty. It allows a fair hearing of a court case in front of a cross section of the community, reflecting our county’s diverse population.
In Palm Beach County, your Clerk’s office handles the day-to-day management of jury service. Our jury team is here to make sure that your experience at the courthouse runs as smoothly as possible. As you prepare yourself for jury service, our Jury Web portal covers many of the frequently asked questions that jurors have when summonsed.
How am I selected to receive a jury summons? Prospective jurors are randomly selected from the Florida Division of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles; U.S. citizens at least 18 years of age, are legal residents of Palm Beach County and who possess a driver license or identification card.
What happens after I receive a summons? Once your summons arrives in the mail, check the date of your jury service. The day before your summoned date, go to our When to Report page after 5 p.m. and find out if you must report the following day. If you are unable to report to jury service, whether due to age, caregiving, pregnancy or other allowable excusal, you may request a postponement or excusal from jury service by filling out a short form on our jury portal.
It's the day of my service, what should I know? In the morning, arrive to the courthouse with enough time to navigate rush hour. Be aware the City of West Palm Beach and Florida Department of Transportation continue road work improvements downtown around the courthouse. Free parking is available at the Judicial Parking Garage located at 505 Banyan Boulevard in addition to public transportation options.
Security at the courthouse has a list of prohibited items that you cannot bring with you, including glass containers and nail clippers. Once inside, head to the Jury Duty office on the first floor to check in and follow the directions from our
jury management team. They will make sure you get through your day and answer any specific questions you may have.
I appreciate your ability and willingness to participate in jury service and to serve the people of Palm Beach County. You can always reach the Clerk’s office at one of our five locations in addition to accessing us online 24 hours a day.
Sign up for our monthly newsletter and follow us on social media at @ClerkPBC to stay up to date on everything we have to offer.
Regards,
Joseph Abruzzo
