Cassia County Jury Q&A

Prospective Jurors will be receiving a new type of summons going forward. The Jury Commission has been working with Tyler Technologies to implement an online jury system.  The Enterprise Jury Manager or EJM is a fast, convenient way to fill out the qualification questionnaire. The Summons will direct you to a Juror Response website where the questionnaire can be filled out and requests can be made of the Jury Commission. You will also be able to see any status updates and reporting dates for your service. Along with an online option there is also an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) which will allow you to check your service status, make a request, update personal information and notify you when you are scheduled to report for roll call. The option to contact the Jury Commission is still available and we expect a high call volume to answer questions with this new process. Please be patient as the Cassia County Jury Commission implements this new, more efficient system.
