The Juror Service Certificate, found on the Judicial website, identifies the number of days an employee appeared for jury duty. Requests may take several days depending on the location of your jury service. Please contact your local Jury Commissioner if you are having difficulty accessing the online certificate after the allotted time frame.

Reasonable notice must be given to consider an accommodation request without causing undue disruption to the court proceeding. If the request relates to a jury summons, the individual should contact the Jury Commissioner as far in advance as possible by contacting the person indicated on the summons or listed on the Judicial Department’s website at Jury Commissioners.

If the request concerns a particular court proceeding, the request should be made a minimum of five days in advance, if practicable, to allow for consideration of the request and to arrange for reasonable accommodation.

Each judicial district has a local ADA Coordinator or Jury Commissioner who is responsible for arranging reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities. You can access the link ADA Coordinators  or Jury Commissioners for a listing for each judicial district. Accommodation requests should be submitted to the local ADA Coordinator or Jury Commissioner by accessing the ADA Online Request form.

The request should identify the particular court program or service for which accommodation is sought, the date, time and location where the accommodation is needed, a description of the disability and the type of accommodation being requested. All requests for an accommodation will be held confidential.

Developmental disability is an umbrella term referring to disabilities present before an individual reaches 22 years of age. Examples of developmental disabilities are cerebral palsy, epilepsy, autism, hearing loss, Down syndrome, mental retardation, spinal injury or brain injury. Cognitive disabilities refer to any disability affecting mental processes. Examples include mental retardation, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dyslexia, Alzheimer's disease, aphasia, brain injury, language delay, and learning disabilities. Remember that many individuals with developmental and cognitive disabilities may not have limited intellectual functioning. Those that do may require accommodation. Depending on the needs of the individual and the nature of the disability, accommodation may include: having the court and witnesses talk slowly or write things down; when necessary, repeating information using different wording or a different communication approach, allowing time for information to be fully understood; presenting information in a clear, concise, concrete and simple manner; when necessary, taking periodic breaks; presenting tasks in a step-by-step manner, letting the individual perform each step after explanation; scheduling court proceedings at a different time to meet the medical needs of the individual; providing a coach or support person at the proceeding; or allowing videotaped testimony or the use of video conferencing technology in lieu of a personal appearance.

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.
