When you are selected for the one year jury term you will receive notice by post card, no response is required of you at this time. 
Please visit our Annual Notice page for more information. 

If you are summoned for a specific trial, you will be notified of the date by mail, where you will be asked to complete a Questionnaire before arrival. Please visit our Trial Summons page for more information.

Please check the status of your trial summons date as often a case can settle before the date of trial. 
Check the Jury Trial Status of the trial for which you have been summoned to report at any time and/or call the jury line (406) 552-6170, option 2.  We will also attempt to notify you via phone if the trial settles prior to the summons date.
