Jury Duty Information

The right to trial by jury is one of the principles guaranteed by the Constitution. It is the duty of every citizen to serve when called to do so.

Get juror information specific to the county you live in:

• DeSoto County Juror Information
• Manatee County Juror Information
• Sarasota County Juror Information

Court officers will never ask for payment, a credit card or social security number for failure to appear for jury duty.  Report suspicious activity immediately to your local law enforcement agency.
