I received a Jury Duty Summons. What do I need to do?

1. Look at your Summons. Identify the following information, which you will need to check your reporting status.
   
   • reporting date
   • reporting time
   • reporting location:  Sarasota or Venice courthouse
   • Juror Number
2. Check Juror Reporting Status:  Call your assigned jury duty location.
   
   

   Reporting location will be one of the following:

   • Sarasota Jurors call (941) 861-5879
   • Venice Jurors call (941) 861-3166
   • The recording will tell you if you are required to be at court that day.

   If you do not need to report for jury duty, there is nothing further to do.

   If you are required to report for jury duty, go to Step 3.
