How will I know if I must report for Jury Duty?
A notice will be mailed to you approximately two weeks prior to your month of service. This notice will advise you of the dates for which you have been selected to serve. Polk County uses a Telephone Information Recording to provide you with up-to-date information regarding the status of jury trials. Please call anytime after 4:45 p.m. the evening before each scheduled trial. If you report for jury service after the message indicated it was not necessary to do so, you will not receive compensation, or credit toward your service for that day.
The Juror Telephone Information Service number is 715-485-9242. The message will advise you if a specific case will proceed to jury trial, as scheduled, or is cancelled.
