1. When and where do I report for jury duty?

You will report to Moss Justice Center for General Sessions jury service.  Please arrive prior to the time to report on your summons.  We like to start our instructions as close to the report time as possible.

2. Can I bring a cell phone, pager or any other communication device (laptop, reader, etc.)?

NO!  Please leave any communication devices at home, work or in your vehicle.  A South Carolina Supreme Court order prohibits communication devices in the courtroom.

3. When will my service end?

You are summonsed for one week of jury service unless otherwise indicated on your summons.  Please make plans to be away from home, work and other activities for the entire week.  The normal court hours are 9am - 5pm, but may start earlier or run later.

4. How did you choose me?

Each year we receive an electronic list from Court Administration that includes all York County registered voters, licensed drivers and pictured ID holders issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles.  These names are cross-referenced and loaded into our system enabling us to randomly select a pool of potential jurors for predetermined court terms.

5. If I have a question prior to service, who can I contact?

Please contact our General Sessions Juror Coordinator, Lindsey, at 803-628-3041.  She will be glad to assist you and provide you with additional information.
