Will my family be able to contact me at the courthouse in the event of an emergency?

Absolutely. Our number is 614.525.3450. You may leave this number with family, school, childcare providers, etc, in the event that an emergency should arise during your service.

If in the jury assembly room, you will be paged to take your call at the front desk. If you are in trial, we will get a message to you in the courtroom in the event of an emergency only. All messages that are not of an urgent nature are placed on a special message board in the jury office.
