The more you know about jury duty in Ada County the more you realize what an honor and privilege it is to serve. At Ada County, when you're called for jury service, we value your time and put you first. The Ada County Jury Office has received national recognition for the multiple ways the office assists jurors who are picked for jury duty.
The G. Thomas Munsterman Award for Jury Innovation is a prestigious award that emphasizes the need for jury offices around the United States to develop creative solutions and innovative approaches to make this important civic duty a positive experience for anyone who is selected. If you get picked for jury duty in Ada County, we'll pay for your parking, provide Uber service to and from the Courthouse, provide meals, financial assistance with childcare and even offer counseling service. We do this because when someone is on trial, the right to have a jury of their peers decide their fate is one of the cornerstones of our entire system of government.
Thank you to Ada County Jury Commissioner Randy Rutland and his delightful staff for setting high standards and changing how many people view jury duty.
If you've served on an Ada County jury - thank you! If you are selected, please know we'll make the process as easy as possible.
Ada County has hundreds of jury trials each year. We are humbled by the overwhelmingly positive feedback we receive from our jurors - many who call jury service one of the biggest learning experiences and honors of their lifetime.
