America's promise of equal justice has endured for nearly 250 years, but that promise relies heavily on a system that can support it.
Florida’s Clerks of Court serve as the backbone of jury administration, working hard to keep the process accessible, organized, and transparent. Clerk offices are responsible for managing the essential day-to-day functions that make jury service possible, including:
- Summoning qualified jurors
- Coordinating jury selection processes
- Providing juror information and assistance
- Managing juror compensation and attendance records
- Supporting courtroom operations during jury trials
- Ensuring juries are selected fairly and efficiently
Florida’s Clerks of Court continue to modernize and streamline this experience, supporting our constitutional guarantees require adequate resources to keep pace with our communities.
