AJIS TOLL FREE NUMBER:1-866-237-3367
The court uses an automated telephone system to inform jurors of their status and to provide reporting instructions. You will need to have your summons with you when you call. The automated system will ask you to enter your participant number, which is the nine-digit number located just above your name/address on your summons. Please do not call the automated telephone system until you have returned your questionnaires to this office. Our automated system also provides a computer-generated courtesy reminder call, so please be certain to provide your telephone number on the Jury Information form you return to the court so we may contact you, as needed.
You will be instructed to call in after 5:00 P.M. on the day before the date you are summoned. If you are scheduled to appear on a Monday, you may call after 5:00 P.M. on Friday and anytime on Saturday or Sunday. The call is free and can be dialed from any location. You will be directed to report either on the date summoned, or rescheduled to appear on another date during your term, and will be instructed to call the automated message again to confirm after 5:00 P.M. the night before you are scheduled to report. You will continue calling for instructions as directed for the duration of your jury service term.
To receive information regarding the status of your request for postponement or excuse, call the AJIS phone number (866) 237-3367 no earlier than 7-10 business days after mailing your juror forms and request.
Cases can be settled or dismissed shortly before trial, so it is imperative that you call the automated system, because YOU WILL NOT BE PAID IF YOU REPORT FOR JURY DUTY AND THE RECORDED MESSAGE NOTIFIED YOU NOT TO APPEAR.
DO NOT CALL THE AUTOMATED SYSTEM AFTER YOU HAVE BEEN SELECTED TO SERVE AS AN ACTUAL OR PROSPECTIVE JUROR IN A CASE IN PROGRESS. THE JUDGE PRESIDING AT THE TRIAL OR THE COURTROOM CLERK WILL GIVE YOU INSTRUCTIONS AS TO WHEN YOU ARE TO RETURN TO COURT UNTIL THAT TRIAL IS COMPLETED.
