JURY SERVICE SCAM

There has recently been an increase of “Jury Service Scams” reported to the Court.  Citizens will NOT be contacted by the Court or law enforcement demanding payment, in lieu of arrest, if you have not reported for jury duty. If you are unable to serve jury duty or if you have been contacted by anyone regarding your service and you have a question, please call the Court’s Jury Office at: 614.525.3450.

Welcome to the Jury Commission web page for the Franklin County Common Pleas Court – General Division. This web page provides information for prospective jurors, their employers, and the general public regarding jury service with the court.
