Jury service is one of the most important civic duties. We recognize the sacrifices made by jurors and appreciate the significant role our jurors serve in the American Justice System. Our judiciary and administrative staff are committed to making jury service as convenient and comfortable as possible.
Notice: Effective September 1st, 2024 the court is participating in a pilot program to increase juror pay to $100 per day with a mileage reimbursement of $0.67 per mile for the second and subsequent days of service. Please complete our survey concerning your thoughts on juror pay at NCSC.org/shastajury. Jurors are strongly encouraged to submit requests to defer jury duty or claim a hardship as soon as the information is known to the juror, but in any case not later than 7 days prior to the date to report for jury duty. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) says that “all employers should be ready to implement strategies to protect their workforce from COVID-19 while ensuring continuity of operations, including court trials." The court is actively working to help our jurors who may be concerned about COVID-19. If you are sick and have symptoms of COVID-19, and have been summoned for jury duty, please contact Jury Services at (530) 225-5701. Then press 2 to postpone your jury service date, and enter your badge number on your jury summons. Notice: Beginning January 1, 2020, individuals with criminal records that meet certain criteria are eligible to serve as a juror. In accordance with Senate Bill 310, which changes the eligibility and disqualification criteria listed in Section 203 of the Code of Civil Procedure, having a felony conviction on your criminal record does not disqualify you from jury service. This change is effective January 1, 2020. However, if you have been convicted of a felony and are currently on parole, post-release community supervision, felony probation, or mandated supervision for the conviction of a felony, you remain disqualified from jury service. Additionally, individuals who are currently required to register as a sex offender pursuant to Section 290 of the Penal Code based on the felony conviction. Lastly, if any individual is incarcerated in any prison or jail, they are also disqualified from jury service. For those individuals who will now be eligible for jury service and wish to serve, please remember that selection is random. The best way to ensure your name is added to the randomized selection process is to update your information with your county's local Registrar of Voters and with the California Department of Motor Vehicles.
