How do I look up jury duty summons and reporting instructions in Denver online?
Executive summary
To find Denver jury summons details and reporting instructions online, use the specific court system that issued the summons: federal summonses rely on the U.S. District Court’s eJuror system and local/state summonses point to Colorado Judicial Branch or Denver County Court juror pages; both pathways provide online status checks, FAQs, contact numbers and options for text-message updates [1] [2] [3]. If the summons is unclear, the Denver jury commissioner and Denver DA webpages list phone and email contacts for direct confirmation and avoid falling for scams — the court says summonses will not arrive by phone and instruct jurors to rely on written summonses and official online portals [4] [5].
1. Identify which court sent the summons — federal, state, or county
Every legitimate step begins by reading the paper summons carefully because it names the issuing court: a U.S. District Court summons directs jurors to the federal eJuror portal, while most local jury instructions are handled through the Colorado Judicial Branch or the Denver County Court webpages; the summons itself states the dates to check and the time a status message will be updated [1] [2] [3].
2. Federal eJuror portal: complete the questionnaire and check Current Status
If the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado sent the notice, complete the required jury qualification questionnaire within ten days and then use the eJuror login to click the “Current Status” button to see whether to report; the summons includes a nine-digit participant number that is required for online or phone checks [1]. The District Court also offers a text option — text STATUS to 833-381-1503 after enrolling in text messaging — and provides a toll-free number to request a mailed questionnaire if needed [1].
3. State and county online resources and FAQs explain reporting rules and exceptions
For state-level jury service and county courthouses, the Colorado Judicial Branch operates a central jury information section with FAQs, postponement and disqualification instructions, and guidance about items to bring and courthouse security procedures; Colorado uses a one day/one trial system and posts explanatory videos and FAQs online to help jurors understand reporting expectations [6] [7]. The statewide jury landing page and the Colorado courts’ jury index are further entry points for general questions and online services related to jury duty [2].
4. Denver-specific contacts and the Denver County Court site for local instructions
Denver residents summoned for jury duty can also consult Denver County Court’s official website for local assembly-room and logistical information and the Denver District Attorney’s jury information pages, which list phone numbers and an email for the jury commissioner (303-606-2305 and denverjury@judicial.state.co.us) and an alternative phone line (720-337-0600) for jury questions [4] [5] [3]. The Denver DA materials underline that summonses arrive by U.S. mail and warn that jurors will never receive a phone call requesting appearance — reinforcing reliance on printed summonses and official web pages [4].
5. Practical online steps to follow right now
First, read the mailed summons for the court name and the nine-digit participant number; second, if it’s federal, go to the District of Colorado’s eJuror portal, complete the online questionnaire if required, and click “Current Status” to see whether to report [1]. Third, if the summons references state or county courts, go to the Colorado Judicial Branch jury pages for FAQs, postponement or disqualification requests, and links to the Denver County Court juror pages; if confusion persists, use the Denver jury commissioner phone or the Denver DA contact information listed online [2] [7] [4].
6. Caveats, alternatives and what this reporting does not cover
These sources explain procedures and contact points but do not provide real-time confirmation that a specific individual’s status will be updated here — a juror must use the provided participant number for status checks and, where necessary, call the listed numbers for explanations [1] [4]. The reporting also distinguishes federal and state processes: the federal eJuror portal and text system are separate from the Colorado state and county jury systems, so following the wrong online link could delay finding the correct reporting instructions [1] [2].
