Many people assume that the Denver County Court is responsible for summoning people to jury duty. This is incorrect.
In fact, the Denver County Court uses a jury pool which is managed by the Jury Commissioner, a State employee from the Denver District Court. All courts -- County, State and Federal -- requiring the use of jurors draw their panels from a shared pool of available jurors. Jurors are not pre-assigned or reserved by a specific courtroom, except in extraordinary situations.
Denver has a one day, one trial system, which means that a person is either selected to sit as a juror or is released from service on the first day they are summoned to jury duty. This appearance, whether or not the person is chosen to sit on a jury, constitutes the individual's jury obligation until the next time a jury summons is received.
Jurors are provided to courtrooms on a first-come, first-served basis with the exception of a criminal or speedy trial matter. These cases have a priority over other cases.
The Jury Commissioner's office services 36 courtrooms and is also responsible for payment of jurors for their services. Jurors are expected to be paid by their employers, if employed, for the first three days of service. After that time, the Jury Commissioner pays $50 per day for each day over three days. Further information can be found on the State Jury Website.
