Welcome to service as a grand juror at the United States District Court. Grand jurors are individuals who convene in secrecy to evaluate accusations presented by the United States Attorney's Office against individuals or businesses and decide if the evidence warrants an indictment (whether the individuals or businesses should be tried for the crime). This is the preliminary stage in a criminal case. Grand jurors spend an average of 2 days each month (one day every other week) of active service during an 18-month period.

Please select any of the information categories listed above, or you may return to the juror home page if you have more general questions about jury matters.

The court staff looks forward to assisting you in making your jury experience a favorable and rewarding one.
