The court receives a list of licensed drivers and identification card holders, over the age of 18, from the Department of Motor Vehicles and a list of registered voters from Voter Registration. The court uses this list to call prospective jurors for Jury Service.
Currently, jurors receive $12.00 per day and are reimbursed for the mileage from their home at a rate of 65.5 cents per mile. Jury payroll is done every Friday.
To be eligible for reimbursement for meals and provided lodging, a sworn juror shall be 75 or more miles away from their residence while serving on a jury panel. Jurors will not be compensated for any lodging arrangements made for the night prior to jury selection. All lodging arrangements for sworn jurors will be made by Court Administration.
As a juror, once you appear for a trial, regardless of if you are chosen to serve on that panel, your jury service is considered complete for two years in the Mohave County Court System.
The first step in Jury Service is the selection of jurors. This process usually takes less than one day. The courts will call more people than necessary for the purpose of jury selection. This is done to ensure that the courts have an adequate number of jurors to choose from. If you are selected to serve as a juror, the judge will let you know how long he or she anticipates the trial to last. In the justice and municipal courts, trials are usually completed in one day.
As a juror, you are an officer of the court; and should dress appropriately. Business casual attire is suggested. The temperature of the jury assembly room and courtrooms can be unpredictable; you may want to bring a sweater or jacket. Shorts, miniskirts, tank tops, halters, braless dresses or tops, graphic tee-shirts, rubber sandals and other informal attire is not considered appropriate in the courtroom setting. If you should appear wearing these or other items deemed unsuitable for attending court, you may be required to return home at your own expense to change into more suitable attire or your jury service may be rescheduled to another date.
Persons who are scheduled to appear for jury service may postpone the date of their initial appearance for jury service two times only. On timely request, postponement shall be granted if all of the following apply:
1. The prospective juror has not been granted two prior postponements.
2. The prospective juror contacts the jury commissioner by telephone or electronic mail or in writing to request a postponement.
Excuses are not generally granted on the basis of religious beliefs, moral beliefs, status as business proprietor, professional status as doctor or lawyer, etc.; however, you may request to be excused for ANY reason two times only. If you are requesting a permanent excuse due to one of the above reasons, you will need to write a letter to the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court.
