Jury Administration

The Jury Administrative Department provides jury services, including removing jury panels from the pool and disbursing juror payments. For questions regarding your jury duty summons, please get in touch with the judge’s office directly and not the Clerk’s Office. 

Jury Qualifications 

Per Arkansas law, any Arkansas citizen who is a Pulaski County resident, registered voter, licensed driver, or person issued a state identification card and is a United States citizen may be summoned for jury service. § 16-31-101.

Under Arkansas law, individuals summoned for jury duty cannot be fired, lose sick leave, vacation time, or face any other penalty if they give reasonable notice to their employer about the summons.

Jury Notification

Pulaski County residents chosen for jury duty will receive a jury summons through the U.S. Postal Service. It’s important to carefully read the summons and follow all the instructions. Pay close attention to the court division number, jury orientation date and time, and where to park when you arrive at the Pulaski County Courthouse located at 401 West Markham Street in Little Rock. 

Upon entering the courthouse, expect a security checkpoint and possible search. Arrive early for your first day of jury orientation. Parking can be difficult, so plan accordingly. If you receive a parking citation, return it to the bailiff for the assigned judge.

If you are hearing or visually impaired and need accommodation to serve as a juror, please contact the bailiff as soon as you receive this jury duty summons. This will ensure that appropriate assistance is provided when you arrive for jury orientation. You will be asked to provide your name, address, telephone number, and the nature of your impairment. This assistance is available at no cost to you.

Please direct all questions to the court division that sent you the juror summons.
