Reporting Instructions

Trial jurors must be available and ready to report when instructed. All jurors are on stand-by status for the two days shown on your summons and must call a recorded message which contains instructions regarding the actual need to report to the courthouse.

Please call 419-213-4288 after 5:00 pm both evenings before your Service Dates

A recorded message will tell you which group numbers are to report the following day and the time they are needed to report. If your group number is not called the first day, you need to call that evening for your second day reporting instructions. If you are not instructed to report either day, your service is completed. Please report to the courthouse by the time stated on the recorded message.
 
NOTE: Late arrivals are subject to rescheduling without pay. Please do not bring children, relatives, or friends with you as the waiting facilities for jurors are limited.
