Information for Jurors

You may call the Court at 541-997-3123 to confirm whether or not the trial is still on the docket.

• Please note that we cannot excuse you on the day of the trial. Should you have an excuse or conflict, you will still need to appear and speak with the judge. Jury selection will usually last approximately one hour.
• If you are not selected for the jury panel, you will be free to leave. If you are selected, you can expect the trial to begin immediately. You may wish to bring some reading material and a sweater or jacket with you, as sometimes the heating/air system may not provide a comfortable temperature for all.
• All jurors are required to report for jury duty as scheduled. If you are over 70 years old, or wish to request a deferral, or have special circumstances that prevent you from being able to serve as a juror, please complete the front and back of the questionnaire and return it as soon as possible.
• Only jurors who serve on a trial are eligible to receive juror fees. If your trial date was canceled, you did not appear, or you were not selected to serve on a trial, you are not eligible to receive a juror fee.
• If you have been selected for jury duty and have general questions about serving as a juror, please call the Court at 541-997-3123.

Important Reminders

• Arrive for jury duty on time, at least a few minutes early.
• Get a good nights rest so that you can concentrate on the proceedings.
• To ensure that you will be paid, follow the sign-in procedure.
