The judges of the First Judicial District Court have elected to
require a cash Jury Bond to be put up for every civil jury trial. This fee
is set at the time of the scheduling order at a normal amount of $2,136.00. The check is made out to the Clerk of Court - Civil Jury
Fund. This fund is administered by the Clerk for the Judges, with all
deposits and withdrawals requiring a court order. The bond is verified by
the judge 30 days before trial. If the monies are not deposited 30 days
before trial, the case is changed to a a civil bench trial. Thirty days
before trial, the monies are disbursed equally between all cases for the drawing
of the jurors. This money is non-refundable. If the civil case has
settled, please notify the judge's secretary to have the case removed from the
civil docket. The jurors that report for trial are paid for by the case
that goes to trial. All refunds from the Civil Jury Fund must be done by
court order. If you need any assistance related to the Civil Jury Fund,
please contact Mike Spence at 318-226-6776.
