Jurors who are temporarily out of the county or state:  If the juror will be out of the county on their appearance date but will be returning within the next 6 months, they should be postponed to a time when they are back in the county.  Retired persons who live in the county more than 50% of the time, but still maintain a permanent address in another county or state may apply for a postponement to a later date when they will be in state.

If there are no reasonable accommodations that will assist you to serve as a juror, please complete either a Postponement or Disqualification form depending on which will best serve your situation. Visit the ADA Accommodation program for additional information on the Americans with Disabilities Act and ADA coordinators.

Students are not automatically excused from jury duty.

If the juror is a student within the State of Colorado, they have the option of postponing to a date they can attend in their home county within 6 months of their reporting date OR they can choose to be transferred to the county in which they attend school to complete their service.

If the juror is an out of state student, but still holds a driver’s license or is registered to vote in the State of Colorado, then they are still required to serve. Out of state students may be granted a postponement of up to 12 months from their reporting date to a time when they are home for a break or holiday. Please see Jury Postponement For Out-of-state Students | Colorado General Assembly for more information.
