Serving on a Jury During the Pandemic

Health & Safety

We understand serving on a jury can be time-consuming and can cause anxiety during routine times. Needing to serve on a jury during a pandemic can heighten that anxiety. The Kansas Judicial Branch would like you to know that we are grateful for your service and take the job of keeping you safe and healthy very seriously. Prior to reinstating jury trials, the 13th Judicial District consulted with local health officials and had our safety plans reviewed to assure we met the guidelines set forth by state health officials. On this page, we will provide you information on the steps we have taken to keep you and our employees safe. Thank you for your patience and your service to Greenwood County and the State of Kansas.

Steps We Are Taking to Keep You Safe

  • Sanitation - The courtroom is cleaned at the end of each day in accordance with the standards established by the county facility management and county health department.
  • Physical Distancing – All individuals in the judicial center must wear a mask and maintain 6-feet of physical distance from one another.  Each courtroom is limited to the judge with limited court staff, attorneys, defendant, and security. Public may access the jury trial via livestreaming. 
  • Hygiene – There are respiratory hygiene stations located outside of security desk and in the hallway outside of the courtrooms.  The court will also provide personal bottles of hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes to each juror.
  • Symptomatic Jurors – If you are summoned for jury duty and become ill prior to or during the trial please call 620-583-8153 as soon as possible.  DO NOT REPORT FOR JURY DUTY IF YOU ARE ILL!

  • Avoid close contact – Assure you maintain at least 6 feet or more distance between you and others.
