You may schedule days off from jury service by phoning in a request at least 24 hours before the day you want off. Call the Jury Coordinator 541.473.5173. Monday through Friday, during business hours. If the Jury Coordinator is not available, you may leave a message with your name, juror number, and the dates you want off. If you are excused, you will not receive a return call. If your request is denied, the clerk will call you.
Only the trial judge can excuse you on the day of trial or within 24 hours of the trial date. Except under extraordinary circumstances and with permission of the trial judge, you cannot be excused once you have been sworn as a juror on a trial.
In an emergency, call the jury coordinator as soon as possible and explain the circumstances. If you are serving on a jury, contact the jury coordinator or courtroom clerk. If you are serving on Grand Jury, call the district attorney's office at 541.473.5127.
