Reporting for Jury Duty in Justice Court

If you have received a jury summons by mail, you are required to respond to it within 72 hours of receipt. Use the form below or call us at 406-258-3470 to submit your confirmation. If you feel you need to be excused from jury duty, please indicate that in the last box of the form.

Many times after you have been selected for a particular case, the case settles before the time you are ordered to report. You may check the status of the trial for which you have been summoned to report at any time by calling our office at 406-258-3470.  We will attempt to notify you if the trial settles to avoid your having to report.

This is a 5 digit number on your summons.

This is listed on your summons.

I received a green postcard about jury service, what does that mean?

You have been selected for Missoula County Justice Court jury service for the 2026. which runs from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026. 

What do I need to do with this postcard about jury service? 

NO RESPONSE IS REQUIRED OF YOU AT THIS TIME! Should you be randomly selected to appear for a jury trial, you will receive a summons packet in the mail and be asked to respond then.


Payment

Checks for jury service will be mailed out approximately two weeks after a trial ends. You can expect to be paid as follows:

  • $12 to appear as a potential juror
  • $25 per day if you are selected to sit as a trial juror
  • $.70 per mile round trip mileage to the Courthouse

Parking

Parking is available on the third level of the Central Park parking garage (public parking area only please) located on the corner of Main and Ryman Streets. Bring the parking ticket to the Courthouse with you for validation.

If there is no parking available in the parking garage, you may park at a metered parking space without paying, but you must place the SUMMONS TO REPORT FOR JURY SERVICE (with the trial date visible) on the dashboard of the driver's side of your vehicle.

In the event you receive a parking ticket during jury service, please give the ticket to the bailiff or bring the ticket to the Justice Court office.
