abuse or civil harassment restraining orders involving stalking and/or
threats of violence.
* Clerks' offices will be open with limited services. Papers may

Los Angeles Superior Court Juror Services
Unavailable On
Court Furlough Day
In response to budget cuts imposed upon the Los Angeles Superior Court,
the Court is implementing a court staff furlough program beginning July
15, 2009, and continuing on every third Wednesday of each month. As a
result, the agents at the SRV-JURY (1- 800-778-5870) telephone center,
the staff at the Juror Services Central Office, and all staff in court
assembly rooms throughout the County, will be unavailable to serve the
public. The SRV-JURY system will be operational, but callers will not
be able to talk to a telephone agent or supervisor.
Jurors may still access and process self-postponements and receive
reporting instructions through the Court's SRV-JURY system or through
the Court's Website at www.lasuperiorcourt.org
Jurors are not expected to report to any Los Angeles Superior courthouse
on furlough days, with the exception of a limited number of jurors who
will be called to report to the jury assembly room on the 11th floor at
the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center on the furlough day.
