Jury Instructions

Updated as of Thursday, March 26, 2020

Due to an Order from the Idaho Supreme Court all jury trials scheduled in April 2020 have been vacated. Jurors who are currently scheduled for April 2020 are released from jury service. Further juror information for the term of May 2020 will be forthcoming.

IMPORTANT: If you have any travel plans, important work obligations, appointments of any kind, or anything that could possibly conflict with your jury service, notify the Jury Commissioner IN WRITING as soon as possible, by using this link. Once your juror number is drawn for a jury trial, it is too late for you to be excused, unless it is an emergency. DO NOT DELAY NOTIFYING THE COURT OF IMPORTANT INFORMATION.

Note: If your number is drawn for an upcoming jury trial, then the Jury Clerk cannot grant your excusal/postponement request. You would be required to report for that trial, and your excusal would be determined by the Presiding Judge and the attorneys on that trial. DO NOT DELAY IN INFORMING THE JURY CLERK OF POSSIBLE CONFLICTS. 

If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact the Jury Clerk directly either by phone at (208) 587-2133 Ext. 511 or email by using the Contact Jury Clerk form.
