For Jurors
Please be aware that there is currently a nationwide identity theft scam where callers identifying themselves as jury personnel attempt to solicit personal information such as social security numbers and bank account information. The Court will never ask prospective jurors for this type of information - do not provide this information to anyone claiming to represent the Court system.
Among the Constitutional rights afforded to all American citizens is the fundamental right to a trial by jury. As an American citizen, if it your privilege and duty to serve as a juror when called upon to do so by the Court. Jury service in Florida is governed under Chapter 40 of the Florida Statutes. Failure to comply with a jury summons can result in a $100.00 fine and/or contempt of court.
The Court recognizes that jury service may impose a hardship on citizens. Every effort is made to ensure that each juror has a positive experience. The judges of the Eighth Judicial Circuit thank you in advance for your service, and we hope that you find your jury service to be an interesting and positive experience.
