To serve as a juror is the responsibility and obligation of all qualified citizens, as well as an opportunity to contribute to our system of justice and our communities. If you are selected to serve, we hope you find your service to be challenging, interesting, and rewarding.
The Lake Havasu City Municipal Court thanks you for your service.
If your scheduled trial has been cancelled, you do not need to appear. Your name will go back into the jury pool, and you will be notified with a new summons at a later date.
For jury information, call the number below.
IF YOU ARE SELECTED FOR JURY SERVICE
You will receive a Summons in the mail directing you when and where to appear. You will receive a juror questionnaire to be filled out and returned to the court prior to the trial date. The Questionnaire can be dropped off at the court, mailed, or emailed to the address below. Failure to provide the questionnaire to the court prior to the trial will possibly increase check-in time.
When you arrive, you will check in at the front counter and wait in the jury assembly room until called into court. The jury clerk will provide you with information and answer any questions you may have. When you go into the courtroom, you will be asked a series of questions regarding your ability to serve as a juror. Based on your responses, the court may empanel you as a juror or excuse you.
Once you have appeared for a jury trial and completed the jury selection process in full, your jury service is fulfilled. Whether you serve on a jury panel, or the Judge excuses you, your service is complete with us for two years. If a jury trial cancels prior to the date of the trial, your name will go back in the jury pool, and you may receive another summons.
IMPORTANT: Occasionally, and sometimes often, trials do cancel or get postponed. It is your responsibility as a summoned juror to keep yourself updated as to the status of the trial. This can be done by calling either one of the phone numbers on your summons or checking this website. If you appear for a trial that has cancelled or postponed, you will not be reimbursed for mileage and you will be re-summoned in the future.
