City of Goose Creek

Have you ever been called for jury duty in our City’s Municipal Court? To our many residents who have performed this crucial duty, thank you!  

To put it simply, maintaining law and order is not possible without our court system, and jury duty is an integral part of that system. For trials that take place in Goose Creek, the City depends on its residents to serve as jurors. In fact, this service is mandatory, and residents who do not respond to a jury duty summons could be held in contempt of court.

All jury trials take place on Wednesdays here at the Municipal Center. The trials begin at 9:15 a.m., and your jury service will last only one day. Jury duty notices go out two weeks prior to the trial date.

There are certain factors or circumstances that exempt, excuse or disqualify residents from jury duty. Click here to view a complete list of those exemptions. If you are chosen for jury duty and believe that one of the exemptions applies, you must contact the Clerk of Court in order to be excused.

If you have questions about jury duty or our municipal court, email Clerk of Court Amy Weatherford at [email protected].
