Municipal Court Jury Duty

You are summoned as a Boulder Municipal Court juror if you have received a white, letter-sized juror summons. If you have questions, contact the Jury Commissioner, Greg Ogden, at 303-441-3419 or by email at ogdeng@bouldercolorado.gov.

If you have received a red, white and blue jury summons with tear-off sides, contact the Boulder County Jury Commissioner at 720-664-1509 or visit the 20th Judicial District / Boulder County Jury Information website.

After 5:00 PM on the day before you have been summoned to report for duty, call the jury line at 303-441-3883 or visit this page for status information. Court staff will not be able to tell you if you need to report before the jury line is updated.

Jurors may be excused from service only if they do not meet the minimum qualifications for jury service listed on the summons. See "What are the qualifications for jurors?" below for details.

If all of the following statements listed below apply to you, you are qualified to serve as a Boulder Municipal Court juror:

• You are 18 years of age or older.
• You are a resident of the City of Boulder.
• You are a citizen of the United States.
• You have not appeared at a courthouse for juror service for five days or more in the past 12 months.
• You do not have sole responsibility for the daily care of a permanently disabled person living in the same household, where your juror service would cause substantial risk of injury to the health of the disabled person.

The Jury Commissioner of Boulder Municipal Court requests a randomized list of all of Boulder's zip codes from the State Court Administrator's Office. The State Court Administrator compiles its list from voter registration and driver's license information.

Some individuals do seem to receive juror summonses on a more regular basis. Different courts operate independently of each other and citizens may be called to serve as jurors in each. Residents of the City of Boulder are subject to be called for jury service in the U.S. District Court and the courts of the State's 20th Judicial District, as well as to Boulder Municipal Court. Citizens are not subject to service in each court more than once each year.
