Jury Duty Information
Jury Fraud Alert
Our office receives numerous phone calls concerning jury duty scams. Here is how the scam typically works. A caller identifies themselves as either a Sheriff's Deputy or a local police officer. They inform you that you missed jury duty and that you now owe a fine of several hundred dollars. You are then threatened with arrest if you do not pay the fine. They will ask for gift cards or ask you to make payment through a Western Union type of exchange.
This is a scam! We will never call you and ask you to give us your bank account number, credit card number, social security number, or any kind of money card. If you have any questions or concerns about this or any other circuit court-related issue, please free to call the Clerk's Office at 804-469-4540.
What is the juror questionnaire, why did I receive it, and what do I do with it?
Once a year, approximately 1,500 prospective jurors are selected at random from a current list of registered voters and from DMV to receive a jury questionnaire. The responses to the questionnaire are reviewed by a team of jury commissioners who have been appointed by the Court to determine which citizens are qualified to serve as jurors. Those citizens who qualify make up the master jury list for the next calendar year from which jurors are selected to serve jury duty. You are required to complete the questionnaire within the time period specified on the form. You may do this online or you may complete it by hand, sign it and return it in the postage-paid envelope provided. Please follow the instructions provided on the questionnaire. Several of the possible exemptions require that additional documentation be submitted with the questionnaire. Please be sure to provide the specific information requested.
