What if an unexpected emergency keeps me from coming to the courthouse while I'm on a jury?

It is very important that all jurors report each day they are told to report and that they be on time. All jurors are expected to report no later than 8:30 a.m. Your absence may delay a trial. 

If you have an emergency (such as a sudden illness or a death in the family), call the court 540-507-7636 immediately.
