You may also email us at info.juryservices@fultoncountyga.gov for further assistance. We may be able to grant you a one-time deferral to a different date.
That is not allowed. Georgia law is very strict about maintaining the randomness of jury selection and juror selection. We are unable to convert your service to another type, in person or virtual. Additionally, virtual jury selection is only via Zoom the first day. If you are chosen to sit on the trial, you will report to the courthouse as ordered by the Judge.
