“Helping The Courts Serve The People”

Linda Priest, Clerk of Court

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 right to a trial by jury is one of our most important rights and is guaranteed by the United States and North Carolina Constitutions. By serving as a juror you are helping to preserve this freedom.”
The Clerk’s Office recognizes your donation of valuable time to serve jury duty and staff will be in the jury room to assist you thorough this process. We have conducted periodical juror surveys and worked closely with county and other court officials to enhance your jury experience.

Such enhancements include: A full time jury clerk, additional parking, and this jury information online service. Our call-in reporting system; Jurors call 475-3005 after 6 PM the evening before reporting and a recorded message will instruct the juror to report or release the juror if their service is not required. (The message will use the panel number printed on the jury summons.) Our one-day/one-trial jury service system; Jurors may be released after one day service if they are not involved in a trial at the end of the day they report. 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. Court Personnel will NEVER call you and ask for Social Security or credit card numbers or other sensitive information. Do not provide such information to anyone claiming to be court personnel or law enforcement.
