Juror Information



Jury duty is the obligation of every citizen.  "Forgetting" to show up is not an excuse.  In fairness to jurors who do show up for jury duty, those who do not appear are held accountable for their actions.  Failure to appear for jury duty when summoned could result in contempt of court and sanctions may be imposed.

Jurors are generally required to report to the courthouse for jury service by 8:30 a.m., unless specifically directed otherwise.

Jurors who have any medication or other dietary needs should advise the jury bailiff accordingly.


 

Juror Parking



Parking is available in the Courthouse parking lot located off of Edison Street. Enter through the west entrance. Additional parking is available at the Resource Center, located at 837 Clermont Street.

 

Excuse of Service



Unless you have a very serious conflict, you will be expected to serve as a juror.  The Court may excuse a person from jury service if the Court determines that the person cannot fulfill the responsibilities of a juror.  

MEDICAL CONDITIONS:  If you have a medical condition that would prevent service as a juror, a medical excuse from your physician is recommended.


 

Juror Payments



Langlade County pays jurors at the rate of $13.75 for a half day of service and $27.50 for a full day of service, plus round trip mileage reimbursement at the rate of $.51/mile.
