General Information
Court Locations and Parking Information: Click here for Locations and Parking Juror Hours: Juror hours are 8:30 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. unless otherwise informed by court personnel. Please plan to stay the entire day! We suggest you bring reading materials or small projects to pass the time while awaiting assignment to a courtroom. Lunch Breaks: Jurors have at least one hour for lunch. There is a cafe located in the downtown Phoenix complex and several eating establishments within easy walking distance. There is a cafeteria located in the Southeast facility as well. Jurors may also bring a lunch. Breaks are announced throughout the day. Facilities: All restrooms in the Superior Court complexes are accessible to physically challenged jurors. Courtesy phones are located in the Jury Assembly Room and pay phones are available nearby. Physically challenged jurors in wheelchairs may use the ramps located at all court entrances. The courthouse is a nonsmoking environment. ATM machines are available in the Phoenix and Southeast facilities.
Also, the downtown Jury Assembly Room is now equipped with wireless Internet access, computer terminals and laptop ports. This service is available through a partnership with a private vendor so there is a fee for use of the system. We have fliers up here at the counter from our vendor that provide instructions on how to access the system and the low costs involved. The Court receives no compensation when you use it, and so the charging of the cost of access is between you and the vendor. For those who want to use the two computer terminals on the two tables, one under the television, and the other on the table next to the blood pressure machine in the back of the room, all we ask is that you be aware that the screen can be viewed by others around you. Otherwise, we hope this addition helps make your jury service experience with us even more positive. return to top Attire: Because temperatures vary in courtrooms and the assembly room, shorts and tank tops are not appropriate. It is recommended to dress in layers. Attendance: Jurors are to report to the Jury Assembly Room with their summons or deferral card. Once selected, jurors go directly to the courtroom.

If you failed to appear on the date summoned, write to the Jury Office explaining the situation and include your Jury ID number. The address is 111 S. Third Avenue, Phoenix 85003.
