Your employer has a duty under state law to pay regular wages up to $50 per day if you are regularly employed per §13-71-126, C.R.S. Employers may pay more than $50 by mutual agreement. If you are self-employed you may ask the court for up to $50 per day for the first three days or juror service (§13-71-127, C.R.S.). Unemployed persons may apply for reimbursement of certain expenses during the first three days. After the third day, all jurors receive $50 per day from the state. There are provisions for special hardships and certain expenses. Please discuss these with the jury commissioner.
Why do I keep getting summoned after I've moved, my address has changed, or my name has changed?
FAQ Item
Jurors are randomly selected and summonsed from driver license records, the Department of Revenue, and voter registration lists by means of a computerized method. To ensure your name and address are correct on your juror summons, you will need to update your personal information with all of these agencies.
- Colorado Department of Revenue-Division of Motor Vehicles
- Department of Revenue
- Colorado Secretary of State-Voter Registration
Qualifying situations to update your information:
If you have moved out of state and have registered to vote with your current state you will need to withdrawal from the Colorado Secretary of State-Voter Registration to avoid further jury summonses in the state of Colorado. Registering to vote and voting in the new state will not withdrawal you from Colorado Voter Registration.
If you have married and/or changed your legal name you will need to update your name with these agencies to avoid duplicate summonses with different names (i.e., Mary Joe Smith to Mary Joe Smith-Lang). Variation of names with these agencies can cause you to receive more than one summons a year because the system does not recognize it is the same person.
