One-Trial Court

The Chatsworth Courthouse is on the "One-Trial" jury service term. Under the One-Trial term of service, prospective jurors are placed on call for a period of five (5) days. The prospective juror is required to call in to receive instructions on whether he or she must report for service. Once instructed to report to court, and if selected to serve on a jury, the service obligation is fulfilled upon the conclusion of deliberation, whether or not a verdict is reached. The service obligation is also fulfilled if not in jury selection or selected on a jury at the end of the day when required to report. Please be prepared to accept a trial when you appear for service. The average trial is 5-7 days.

Call-In Time

Call after 6:00 p.m. to receive instructions on whether you must report for service.

Juror Call-In Telephone Number

The Call-In telephone number is (213) 972-0970.

As A Call-In Program Participant You Can Expect To

  • Call in for five days or until you have been asked to report. If you have not been asked to report after five days, your service is complete.
  • Appear as instructed once your group number is selected.
  • Only be paid for days you actually appear as instructed (after your first day of service).

Absences

To report an absence, please call the courtroom you have been assigned to directly. The courtroom telephone numbers are listed on the “Juror Orientation Information Sheet” that you were given on the first day.

Jury Parking
