While serving on jury duty may seem inconvenient, the right to a trial by jury is a privilege guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution and the California State Constitution. To preserve this constitutional right, it is important that civilians perform their civic duty and serve when called.
Pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 209, any prospective juror who has been summoned for service, and who fails to respond as directed and be excused from attendance, may be found in contempt of court, punishable by fine ($1,500), incarceration (5 days) or both.
If you failed to appear, please contact our Jury Administration at (909) 884-1858 and a representative can assist you.
