County jury selection is done by a computer program. Our jury source
list is provided by two sources, the county voter registration and
Washington State Driver’s License and or ID card.
The Clerk’s Office draws 600 to 800 names from the total
jury pool each month. Your first notice will be in the form of a
questionnaire, you will be on call for the month stated on your
questionnaire form. Please complete both sides and return by return
mail. This is a valuable tool for you to note any scheduled vacations,
medical excuses or any reason for delays. The court will make every
attempt to honor your request.
You will be mailed a postcard with specific instructions
as to the date and time to appear. Once you have been on a panel and are
seated as a juror, your name will be removed for a period of one year.
It is our goal to call a juror once during their service month. However,
that can change if we run short of jurors.
Prospective jurors should call as directed on your
postcard the evening prior to the report date at 509-422-7276 or
1-800-421-0680. We ask that you call after 6:00PM as cases may settle at a
late hour and we want to provide prospective jurors with the most
current information.
