Trial Summons

Juror Questionnaire - Please complete the Questionnaire as to Qualification for Jury Service within 72 hours of receipt of your Summons.  This will serve as your confirmation of your Summons.  NOTE: Your Juror Number is located on the Summons to Report For Jury Service directly above your name and address.  Once completed, click Submit.  You may add an email address to receive a copy of the completed questionnaire.

Requests to be excused - If you cannot attend jury service on the date/time for which you were summoned to appear you must submit a written request to be excused for the Court’s consideration. Complete the Affidavit for Excusal Online Form or contact our office to receive a paper copy of the Affidavit for Excusal by mail.  If you requested a paper copy of the Affidavit, it can be returned via email to CourtJurors@ci.missoula.mt.us, presented in person, mailed to the address found on the Summons, or faxed to (406) 327-2129. Please include a telephone number where you can be reached.

Parking - Parking may be available on the 3rd level of the Central Park parking structure (public parking area only), located on the corners of Main and Ryman.   Bring the parking garage stub to Municipal Court for validation when your attendance is confirmed.   If you plan to park on the street in Missoula’s downtown area, please familiarize yourself with the meter system in advance, to make parking easier on the day of the trial.  The court will not validate parking receipts/stubs if you park at a meter on the street.

Payment – Checks for jury service will be mailed out approximately two (2) weeks after the conclusion of the trial. You can expect to be paid as follows:

· $12.00 to appear as a potential juror
 · $25.00 per day if you are selected to sit as a trial juror

Trial Status - Jury trials are sometimes settled at the last minute. We will make every attempt to notify you if you do not need to appear. In order for us to keep you informed of the final status of the jury trial, we request that you check the Jury Trial Status page prior to departing for the Courthouse and/or call (406) 552-6170, option 2 to hear the Jury Trial Status message. If the case has not settled it is important that you report to the Missoula Council Chambers, located at 140 W Pine St, no later than 8:30 AM
