The Clerk s Office cannot provide legal advice or assist a litigant in preparing a pleading. The United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida uses the lists of registered voters as the source for the jury pool. The federal courthouse for your division may be located in a different county from all that it serves.
Jurors are on call for approximately one month.
You will be expected to be available to appear at the courthouse whenever instructed during your month of service. This does not mean that you will actually report in person at the courthouse every day, but rather, you will be expected to call in as instructed and be ready to appear when directed. The recorded message will provide you with last minute reporting instructions or changes in the court schedule. The instructions will tell you if you are supposed to report for jury duty on the next working day, or when you should call in again. The court uses a telephone recording to schedule jurors in order to avoid wasting a prospective juror s time with an unnecessary trip to the courthouse.
