Jurors for Twin
Falls County serve for a one-month term unless extended due to a case that they are
involved in. Most jurors, on average, are directed
to appear between one and three times during the
month of service.
Jurors are
instructed to call the message phone (code-a-phone)
at 736-0047 beginning the weekend before the term of
service and each weekend for the whole month of
service. If directed to appear as a juror, always
call the night before the scheduled date to appear
after 5:00 p.m. to check for any
changes.
Jurors receive
their instruction through the jury message phone
(code-a-phone) system or through the link below.

How a jury is
chosen: Your name is drawn at random from a list of
registered voters and licensed drivers. A juror
summons qualification form is sent to you, which you
return to the court, with questions asked to
determine if you are legally qualified to serve on a
jury. Your answers to the questions help the judge
and attorneys determine your fairness and ability to
sit as a juror on any particular case.
If directed to
appear, please be on time. Allow a few extra minutes
for parking and the security scanning device. You
will check in at the security counter and we will
direct you to your courtroom.
If you have
questions or problem regarding your jury service,
please call the Jury Commissioner at 736-0048
Thank You.
