Reporting for Jury Duty

Jury service is one of our most important civic duties. The right to a jury trial is the privilege of every person in the United States and is guaranteed by both the United States and California Constitutions. The Lassen Superior Court thanks each one of you for fulfilling your civic obligations. As a juror, you will have rendered one of the most important functions of citizenship-service as a trial juror.

Failure to Appear for Jury Service

Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure § 209, any prospective juror who has been summoned for service, and who fails to respond as directed and be excused from attendance, will be issued a Failure to Appear/Respond to a Jury Summons notice to appear in court; may have monetary sanctions imposed on them (up to $1,500); may be found in contempt of court, punishable by fine (up to $1,000), incarceration (5 days), or both.
