Generally jury trials in Clatsop County begin on a Tuesday or Wednesday. Check in with the court by accessing our web site or by calling 503.325.8555 every Friday after 3:00 p.m. for information regarding the upcoming week. Because trials can change at the last minute, if you are called to serve on Tuesday or Wednesday, check again the evening before your scheduled appearance to ensure that you have the most current information.
When you check the website or call in, you will receive instructions as to when and where to report. If you have questions, please
contact the Jury Coordinator.
Please read these important notes about court etiquette before you serve as a juror.
Duration of Service
The length of your jury duty term is one month. If you are a juror on a trial that will last longer than the end of your term, you must continue service for the duration of that trial.
Scheduling Days Off
With advance notice and depending on the circumstances, you may be excused from certain days that you are not able to serve. Any requests to be excused the day prior to or the day of trial must be submitted in writing to jury.info@ojd.state.or.us and will be forwarded to a Judge for approval.
You cannot be excused once you have been sworn in as a juror on a trial.
In an emergency, call the Jury Coordinator right away.
