Seals of the Court of Appeals and Superior Court
District of Columbia Courts

The Superior Court's flexible deferral system allows you to select a date to serve that is up to 90 days away from the original date on your summons. The day of the week that you select must be the same day of the week on which you were originally summoned. For example, if your original summons date falls on a Tuesday, the deferral date you select must also be a Tuesday. Most trials last 3-5 days, so keep this in mind when choosing a date to begin your service. The Court does not enroll new jurors on Fridays or federal holidays. See Deferrals.
