Clark County Superior Court is pleased to introduce a new and improved juror experience for local citizens with the replacement of the current Jury Summonsing software. This page was created to help inform the public of these changes and provide information for jurors currently summoned for jury service. If you need assistance during this transition please contact Jury Administration (564-397-2049).
Old Summons Example
If your summons looks like the summons below, you were summoned under our legacy system. Click the summons to log in to your juror portal or visit: https://jury.clark.wa.gov/
This is an example of the former (legacy) jury summons that was sent to Clark County citizens. This summons was folded on 8.5x14 size paper with a questionnaire attached. This legacy summons is being phased out starting the week of March 31, 2025. This legacy summons is identifiable by the George Washington seal at the top of the summons in the middle. The legacy summons also has a badge and parking permit and only uses the color red and blue. Lastly, the summons refers to a "Juror Badge" number.
New Summons Example
If your summons looks like the summons below, you were summoned under our new system. Click the summons to log in to your juror portal or visit: https://clark.wa.gov/jury
This is an example of the new and updated summons postcard that is being sent out to Clark County citizens. This is the official summons used by Superior Court for juror summoning going forward. The first week of service with the new summons is the week of March 31, 2025. This new summons is identifiable by the George Washington seal at the top, far left side of the summons. The new summons only uses the color red and black on the front. Lastly, the new summons refers to a "Juror ID" number.
More Information About This Change
The county began using its current jury management software in the early 2000’s. After nearly 20 years of solid reliability with the current software, inefficiencies and outdated forms of communication have contributed to overall lower response and appearance rates.
Superior Court’s Jury Administration Office summons over 40,000 people in Clark County for the Superior and District Courts each year. The new software delivers a more simplified summoning experience for potential jurors. New postcard style summonses are expected to arrive in mailboxes the week of February 24th. Once a potential juror receives a summons, they will be provided information to respond to their summons online using a new juror portal. Individuals that are unable to respond online will be able to call Jury Administration for assistance. Court contact information is provided on the summons. A new online juror portal offers an improved user experience where potential jurors can answer their juror questionnaire, as well as make any requests to be deferred or excused.
Historically, most correspondence with potential jurors has been through the United States Postal Service. The new juror experience shifts most communication to email and has the option to enroll in text messaging notifications. Updates will also be available in the jury portal. Potential jurors will receive updates and notifications on their status the same day or next business day. What is not changing is the fact that potential jurors will always receive their official summons in the mail to initiate the process.
With an estimated 56.75% of Americans visiting websites from their mobile devices in 2024, the need for a mobile-optimized juror portal was well overdue. The gap between the number of mobile users vs. desktop users is expected to widen as more Americans are handling business and engaging in their daily lives through their smartphones and other mobile devices.
Superior Court is proud of the local improvements to this important civic obligation and the better experience for Clark County citizens. If you are currently summoned for jury service in Clark County, Washington and need additional assistance, please contact Clark County Jury Administration by phone: (564-397-2049) or email: juries@clark.wa.gov
