You’ve Got Your Summons, Now What?

When you receive your summons in the mail, you must respond to let the Jury Department know if you intend to appear on your scheduled date, need to postpone for another date, or request to be excused from jury service. Remember, just because you've been summoned, you may not be selected to serve.

Jury Scam Notice

Residents of Maricopa County have been targeted in jury duty scam. Citizens are contacted via phone by a person identifying themselves as a member of law enforcement or a Jury Office representative. The caller informs citizens that a warrant has been issued for their arrest because they failed to report to jury service. The caller then states that the warrant can be resolved if the citizen pays a fine by sending cash or a prepaid debit card. This is a scam.

If you feel you are being targeted for this scam, write down the phone number the person is calling from and hang up. DO NOT give the caller any personal information about yourself or agree to provide any money. Contact your local police department and request to file a complaint.  To verify your jury service status, please call the Jury Office at 602-506-5879.
