Security Screening

Please do NOT bring any item that could be used as a weapon to any courthouse. Those items will not be allowed, and illegal weapons will be confiscated. 

Reporting Instructions

Lake County has a 4-month jury term. However, this does not mean that you will need to serve each day during your term.

You must call the Jury Information Line every Monday after 5:00 p.m. beginning the first Monday of your term to obtain reporting instructions for that week. When calling, please have your group number ready. When jurors are instructed to report, they will be listed by group number only. No individual names will be listed. The group number is located next to the bar code number on the bottom portion of your summons. If you do not have your summons, please call (218) 595-5001 Option #2 to obtain your group number. Failure to call or appear may result in you being found in contempt of court.

Correspondence with additional information specific to your juror service in Lake County will be sent a week or so prior to your term begin date, which will include a form for requesting time off due to vacations, doctor appointments, etc.

Personal Items and Your Phone

  • Cell phones are allowed in the jury assembly room. However, if you are called to a courtroom, you must be sure to turn off your cell phone.
  • Magazines and other reading material are permitted.
  • Laptop computers or tablets: there is wireless internet in the jury assembly room and electrical outlets for your use.
  • Please keep in mind that there are security measures similar to airport screening. Do not bring sharp objects such as scissors, corkscrews or knitting needles as they may be confiscated.
