The U.S. Attorneys’ Office (USAO) allows grand jurors to take cell phones and other electronic devices such as small laptops, e-readers, tablets etc., into the lobby of the building, but they must be stored in lockers at the security desk. Jurors are allowed access to their devices during the lunch hour and scheduled breaks in the lobby area or outside the building.

At Moultrie Courthouse, cell phones are permitted while you wait, but not in the lounge. Laptops are permitted in all areas. WiFi access is available throughout the court building.

Upon entering the Courthouse, you will have to pass through security, which includes clearing a metal detector as well as an X-ray machine. Items such as Swiss Army Knives, pocketknives, scissors, metal craft needles, cameras, and recording equipment are not permitted in the Courthouse. Without exception, Court Security staff will confiscate these items. Weapons will not be returned.

No; the $7 travel fee will be paid by debit card after you have served for one week. Your first payment will cover the first week of Grand Jury service only. This also applies if you are entitled to the $50 daily juror fee. Juror debit cards are reloaded weekly based on your attendance.

Yes, you should report for grand jury recall days. On occasion, recall days are needed to clear up any unfinished business of your grand jury panel. When recall sessions are needed, your panel will be provided with as much advance notice as possible.

Please allow approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete the registration process.
