Juror Selection and Pay
Selection Process
Jurors are selected from a list made up of all registered voters, licensed drivers, and
holders of state-issued photo I.D. cards.
A panel of three jury commissioners meets once a month to randomly draw a pre-determined
number of jurors for a particular week of court by a computerized process.
The commissioners never see the names that are chosen. The Clerk of Court’s office prints
the list of names (also called a Venire) and the summons are prepared and mailed to the
prospective jurors. A list of jurors that do not respond to the summons is sent to the Greenville
Sheriff's Office for them to follow up in person. The jury summons are mailed 20 to 30 days
before the jurors are to appear in court.
Jury Duty Pay
A juror is paid $20.00 a day for each day that he or she serves on jury duty.
Debit cards are mailed within 2 business days after your jury service ends.
