Inside the courthouse—where to report
for jury service: Please
report to the top floor of the courthouse in the main courtroom.
What to wear to court:
Please report for jury service wearing respectable clothes. As a general rule, business or business
casual clothing is acceptable. The
following types of clothing are not suitable for court proceedings: shorts, tube tops, halter tops, clothing that
contains any obscene, suggestive or inflammatory print or images, and clothes
that are overly dirty or ragged.
Absences/Emergencies: Please ask to be excused ahead of time
if possible. Jurors need to appear the day of trial to ask to be excused if not
excused prior to trial. We do send the sheriff to pick up jurors that do not
appear.
Travel, mileage and other expenses: Reimbursement will be paid at the end
of your term of service. Jurors are reimbursed for travel to and from residence
to the courthouse at a rate approved by the supreme court. For specific questions, please call
1-641-322-4711.
Compensation:
Pursuant to state law, you will be paid $30 a day for each day of jury
service up to seven days; $50 a day for eight or more days of service. You may
waive the right to compensation, which will help reduce the state's cost of
operating the court system.
