Jury Service
Jury duty is how residents of Ridgeway County take part in the administration of justice. Jurors hear the evidence in a trial and decide the facts of the case — no legal experience is required, and every community member is eligible to serve.

Sign InHow Jury Service Works
- 1. Join the juror pool. Enroll on this page to make yourself available for jury duty. You can pause your enrollment at any time and rejoin later.
- 2. Receive a summons. When a case needs a jury, the court randomly draws a panel from the active pool. If you are drawn, a summons appears here and in your case notifications.
- 3. Confirm or decline. Respond to the summons to let the court know whether you can serve. Declining excuses you from that case only — you stay in the pool for future draws.
- 4. Empanelment. The judge seats the jury from the jurors who confirmed. If you are empaneled, attend the trial and help decide the case; jurors who confirm but are not seated are released.
Who Can Serve
- Any signed-in community member may enroll in the juror pool.
- You will never be summoned for a case you are involved in — parties, their attorneys, and the assigned judge are excluded from the draw.
- Panels are drawn at random from the active pool.
- Confidential matters are never tried to a jury.
