Jury Service In Cumberland County "Serving jury duty is absolutely a sacrifice; however, it is a sacrifice that determines the quality of justice for our citizens. By appearing for jury duty, you are helping your fellow citizens resolve court cases that seriously impact lives in this community."

The one-day/one-trial jury service system releasing jurors after one day service if they are not involved in a trial at the end of the day. If you are summoned for jury duty, it is important that you comply fully with the requirements on the summons. When reporting, please bring your summons with you.
