Jurors will be subject to weapons screening upon entering the courthouse. Any items that could be used as a weapon will not be allowed in areas beyond screening checkpoints and illegal weapons will be confiscated. There may be a line at security checkpoint, so please allow yourself enough time to get into the courthouse.

Please note that the vending machines are no longer available in the courthouse, so if you want snacks and/or beverages, feel free to bring them along. As well, temperatures can fluctuate throughout the different rooms in the courthouse, so you should dress accordingly, or in layers.

Cell phones are allowed in the jury assembly room, however, they must be turned off in the courtroom.  There is wireless internet in the jury assembly room and electrical outlets for your use. You may bring a laptop or reading materials for time you may spend waiting for the selection process. 
 

Minnesota law requires you to serve on jury service if qualified.  You may be guilty of a crime if you fail to show up for jury service as directed (Minn. Stat. § 593.42 Jurors; Failure To Appear).

Thank you in advance for your service as a juror in McLeod County.  The right to a trial by jury is a cornerstone of American democracy and your jury service is an essential part of your local justice system.  Justice cannot be served without the time and dedication of citizens like you.
