Jury Service

Jury duty is an essential element of the American judicial system. Trial by jury is provided as a constitutional right and, therefore, jury duty is a privilege and responsibility of every United States citizen. By Idaho state law, jurors are selected at random from a master list generated in each county from driver's license and voter registration records.

Scammers Target Idaho Court Users

Scammers continue to target members of the public across Idaho with false claims about failing to appear for jury duty. The Idaho Judicial Branch would like to remind everyone that the state courts do not send a court summons, warrant for arrest, or request for court fees electronically. Potential jurors may receive electronic messages regarding jury duty if they have previously provided their contact information to the jury commissioner in their county. However, these messages will not ask for identification information or for the person to pay fees. Please click here for more information.
