Colorado Jury Duty Laws: Pay, Exemptions and Employer Rules
Independently fact-checked against primary sources (last audited October 7, 2026). · 15 primary sources cited on this page. How we verify our legal content
Colorado sets the rules for state-court jury service in article 71 of title 13 of the Colorado Revised Statutes, starting with the qualifications in C.R.S. § 13-71-105. Colorado makes employers pay part of it: a regularly employed juror gets regular wages, up to $50 a day, from the employer for the first three days (§ 13-71-126), and the state pays $50 a day from the fourth day on (§ 13-71-129).
An employer may not deprive you of your job or its benefits, or harass, threaten or coerce you, because you were summoned or served (§ 13-71-134). Colorado's jury statute has no age-based excuse: the only age rule in article 71 is that jurors must be at least 18.

Jurisdiction scope: This page covers trial and grand jury service in Colorado state courts. A summons from the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado follows federal law, summarized on our jury duty laws by state hub. Statute text on this page was checked against the 2026 official printout of the Colorado Revised Statutes, current through the 2026 regular session.
Do you have to go? The short answer
Yes, unless you are disqualified or the court excuses or postpones you. Colorado gives every trial juror one postponement as a right, a short list of statutory disqualifications, and narrow hardship excuses that a judge or jury commissioner decides (§§ 13-71-105, 13-71-116, 13-71-119.5).
The Colorado Judicial Branch tells people with a summons to read it first, because it explains "how to determine whether you need to report to the courthouse on the date printed on the summons, how to ask for a postponement of your service, and what to do if you believe you received the summons by mistake" (Colorado Judicial Branch, Jury). To see which category might fit your situation before you respond, try our jury duty exemption checker.
Who can serve on a jury in Colorado
Under § 13-71-105(1), "Any person who is a United States citizen and resides in a county or lives in such county more than fifty percent of the time, whether or not registered to vote, shall be qualified to serve as a trial or grand juror in such county." Your citizenship and residency on the date of service control.
The statutory test is living in the county more than half the time. Names are drawn from voter records, driver licenses, non-driver IDs and state income tax records, according to the Judicial Branch (Jury FAQs).
Colorado also forbids exclusions based on who you are. Under § 13-71-104(3), "A person shall not be exempted or excluded from serving as a trial juror or grand juror because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, economic status, or occupation." In a criminal trial, though, a compensated employee of a public law enforcement agency or a public defender's office is subject to a challenge for cause that the court must sustain (C.R.S. § 16-10-103(1)(k)). That can remove the person from a criminal jury; it is not an exemption from answering the summons.
A person with a disability must serve unless disqualified or the court finds the disability prevents service, and the court must first talk with the person about reasonable accommodations.
Who is disqualified
Section 13-71-105(2) lists the grounds that disqualify a prospective juror. You raise them yourself, usually through the summons or the Judicial Branch's disqualification form.
| Disqualification | Details | Cite |
|---|---|---|
| Under 18 | Age is the only age ground in the statute | § 13-71-105(2)(a) |
| Cannot read, speak and understand English | All three are required | § 13-71-105(2)(b) |
| Physical or mental disability that prevents satisfactory service | A letter from a licensed physician, physician assistant, advanced practice registered nurse or Christian Science practitioner, if the jury commissioner asks for it | § 13-71-105(2)(c) |
| Sole daily caregiver of a person with a permanent disability in your household | Only to the extent serving would cause a substantial risk of injury to that person's health; not available if you regularly work outside your household | § 13-71-105(2)(d) |
| Living outside the county with no intention of returning within twelve months | Residence test | § 13-71-105(2)(e) |
| Served on an impaneled trial or grand jury in any municipal, tribal, military, state or federal court in the past twelve months, or scheduled to serve in the next twelve | Written verification required | § 13-71-105(2)(f) |
| Appeared as a prospective juror in Colorado state court in the current calendar year | Written verification required; does not apply in emergency summons situations | § 13-71-105(2)(g) |
| Prior felony conviction (grand jury only) | Applies to grand jurors, not trial jurors | § 13-71-105(3) |
For the disability ground, the statute's guideline is whether the person can do a sedentary job requiring close attention for three consecutive business days, six hours a day. Note that the calendar-year rule in (2)(g) runs from January 1, not for a rolling twelve months.
Felony convictions
Section 13-71-105(3) says "A prospective grand juror shall be disqualified if he or she has previously been convicted of a felony in this state, any other state, the United States, or any territory under the jurisdiction of the United States." The disqualification list in § 13-71-105 contains no felony bar for trial jurors.
The Judicial Branch's FAQ confirms it: "you are eligible to be a trial juror if you have been convicted of a felony. But, you are not eligible to be a grand juror." The FAQ adds that a conviction may be something the parties consider during jury selection.
Exemptions, excuses and postponements in Colorado
Colorado's jury statute does not exempt anyone by occupation or age (§ 13-71-104 bars excluding a person because of occupation). The Judicial Branch states that exemptions are not based on profession, employment status, enrollment in school, financial situation, religious affiliation, or age, except that all jurors must be at least 18 (Jury FAQs). What it does have:
| Who | How it works | Cite |
|---|---|---|
| Any trial juror | One postponement as a right, up to six months, which may run into the next calendar year | § 13-71-116 |
| Colorado resident attending an out-of-state college in person | One postponement of up to twelve months | § 13-71-116 |
| Employee of an employer with five or fewer full-time employees (or equivalent) when a coworker is summoned for the same period | The jury commissioner shall postpone and reschedule on notice from the employee; does not use up your one postponement | § 13-71-116.5 |
| Person who would have to abandon someone in their direct care because no substitute care provider can be found | Temporary excuse; the judge or jury commissioner decides | § 13-71-119.5(2) |
| Person who would suffer physical hardship possibly resulting in illness or disease | Temporary excuse; the judge or jury commissioner decides | § 13-71-119.5(2) |
| Person breast-feeding a child who is temporarily unable to or chooses not to leave the child | Must be excused temporarily, for up to two consecutive twelve-month postponements | § 13-71-119.5(2.5) |
| Trial juror facing extreme hardship | The court may excuse | § 13-71-119 |
| Grand juror facing hardship or inconvenience | The court may excuse, considering the length of grand jury service | § 13-71-119 |
| Juror on a trial expected to last more than three trial days | The court may excuse from that trial for hardship or inconvenience | § 13-71-121 |
Postponing your jury date
Under § 13-71-116(1), "A trial juror shall have the right to one postponement of the term of juror service. The postponement must not last more than six months, but may extend into the next calendar year." You notify the jury commissioner by phone or in writing, and the commissioner sets the new date.
The Judicial Branch says you can request it through the postponement section of a paper summons, the statewide online postponement request form (you choose the county on your summons), or the jury commissioner. Students attending an out-of-state college in person get up to twelve months instead of six.
Small employers get extra relief. Under § 13-71-116.5, "Upon notice by an employee, a jury commissioner shall postpone and reschedule the service of a summoned juror who is regularly employed by an employer with five or fewer full-time employees or their equivalent if, during the same period, another employee of the employer has been summoned for jury service." This does not affect your one postponement right.
Hardship excuses
The physical-hardship excuse is narrow. Under § 13-71-119.5(2)(d), "undue or extreme physical hardship shall be limited to circumstances in which a person: (I) Would be required to abandon a person under his or her direct care or supervision because of the inability to obtain an appropriate substitute care provider during the period of jury service; or (II) Would suffer physical hardship possibly resulting in illness or disease."
You do not need to be the sole caregiver to use this excuse. You must get the judge's or jury commissioner's decision before your appearance date, and you may support the request with documents such as medical statements or proof of dependency, which are not public records. The court may excuse you if the documents clearly support the request.
Beyond that, the court may excuse a trial juror "upon a finding of extreme hardship," and a grand juror "upon a finding of hardship or inconvenience" (§ 13-71-119). The court may also dismiss a juror at any time in the best interest of justice.
Breast-feeding parents
"A person who is breast-feeding a child and is temporarily unable to or chooses not to leave the child in order to serve on a jury must be excused temporarily from service as a juror for up to two consecutive twelve-month postponements. The judge or jury commissioner may request a medical statement in support of the postponement" (§ 13-71-119.5(2.5)). The statute says a statement may be requested; the Judicial Branch FAQ describes one on letterhead, so check what your jury commissioner asks for. The statement is not a public record.
Temporary versus permanent excuses
Most excuses are temporary. When a temporary excuse expires, you are eligible to be summoned again. "A person may be permanently excused only if the judge or jury commissioner determines that the grounds for being excused from jury service are permanent in nature" (§ 13-71-119.5(3)).
Age: no age-out in Colorado
Article 71 sets no upper age limit and no age-based excuse; the only age ground is being under 18 (§ 13-71-105(2)(a)). In 2025 the General Assembly passed HB25-1065, which would have let people 72 and older opt out, but the Governor vetoed it on May 16, 2025 (HB25-1065).
An older juror may still ask to be excused under the hardship or disability grounds above if they apply, and § 13-71-131 lets the court make special arrangements for physically impaired and elderly jurors. Ask the jury commissioner on your summons.
Students and military members
The Judicial Branch says students are not automatically excused, and that military members are not exempt if they live in the county at least half the time; they can use the one six-month postponement (Jury FAQs).
Separately, federal law says an active-duty member of the armed forces may not be required to serve on a state or local jury if the member's branch Secretary determines that service would unreasonably interfere with military duties or adversely affect unit readiness, and that determination is conclusive (10 U.S.C. § 982). It is a determination by the Secretary, not an automatic exemption, so ask your command if it applies to you.
One narrow statutory exemption exists outside the jury statute. Under C.R.S. § 28-4-115(2), "Every officer and enlisted person of such force, during his or her service therein, shall be exempt from service upon any posse comitatus and from jury duty." The force is the Colorado state defense force, which the statutes define as the organized military force of the state other than the Army National Guard or Air National Guard (§ 28-4-102(4)), so the exemption does not cover National Guard members.
How much does jury duty pay in Colorado?
Colorado splits juror pay between your employer and the state, and the amounts are set by statute statewide.
| Who you are | Days 1 to 3 | Day 4 on | Cite |
|---|---|---|---|
| Regularly employed (including part-time, temporary and casual workers with scheduled or customary hours in the prior three months) | Regular wages from your employer, up to $50 a day unless you and your employer agree to more | $50 a day from the state | §§ 13-71-126, 13-71-129 |
| Unemployed (including retirees, homemakers, students and people receiving unemployment benefits) | State reimbursement of reasonable travel, child care and other necessary out-of-pocket expenses except food, up to $50 a day, if you apply on the first day | $50 a day from the state | §§ 13-71-128, 13-71-129 |
| Self-employed juror, or employee of an employer, when the court excuses the wage duty for financial hardship | Reasonable compensation from the state, up to $50 a day | $50 a day from the state | §§ 13-71-127, 13-71-129 |
The state's day-four rate is all-in: "A trial or grand juror receiving payment under this section shall not be entitled to additional reimbursement for travel or other out-of-pocket expenses" (§ 13-71-129). The state pays only for days you appeared as directed, not holidays or days the court recessed, and payment is processed within ten days after a trial juror's service ends (§§ 13-71-130, 13-71-132).
Jury service does not cost you unemployment benefits (§ 13-71-128).
Colorado employer rules for jury duty
Your employer must pay you for the first three days
Section 13-71-126 says: "All regularly employed trial or grand jurors shall be paid regular wages, but not to exceed fifty dollars per day unless by mutual agreement between the employee and employer, by their employers for the first three days of juror service or any part thereof." A partial day of service counts.
Some public employers give more than the statute requires. Colorado's state personnel rules give employees in the state personnel system paid jury leave, capped at three days for temporary employees, and the employee keeps the juror pay (4 CCR 801-1, Rule 5-14). Colorado Judicial Department employees get paid leave for the duration of jury service but must turn over their juror pay except travel reimbursement (Judicial Department Personnel Rule 26.F).
Your employer learns your days of service and its wage duty through the juror service acknowledgment. The jury commissioner keeps it available electronically for twelve months after your service, and you get a copy within sixty days if you ask (§ 13-71-132). The Judicial Branch's Jury page offers a Juror Service Certificate.
An employer facing financial hardship can ask to be excused from the wage duty. It must make a written request to the jury commissioner, and the court hearing must take place within thirty days after the acknowledgment is tendered (§ 13-71-127). The Judicial Branch's guidance for employers adds that the employer must request the hearing no later than five days after receiving the employee's certificate. If the court excuses the employer, the state pays you up to $50 a day for those first three days instead.
If your employer does not pay within thirty days after you tender the acknowledgment information, you can sue for the wages. The court may award treble damages and reasonable attorney fees for willful misconduct, and extreme financial hardship is no defense once the duty has attached and the employer was not excused (§ 13-71-133).
Your job is protected
Under § 13-71-134(1), "An employer shall not deprive an employed juror of employment or any incidents or benefits thereof, nor shall an employer harass, threaten, or coerce an employee because the employee receives a juror summons, responds thereto, performs any obligation or election of juror service as a trial or grand juror, or exercises any right under any section of this article. An employer shall make no demands upon any employed juror which will substantially interfere with the effective performance of juror service."
The section states no minimum employer size and no condition that you give your employer notice. Article 71 does not address whether an employer can require you to use vacation or sick leave, or schedule shifts around jury service.
If your employer violates the law
"The employed juror may commence a civil action for such damages or injunctive relief or both, as may be appropriate, for a violation of this section. The court may award treble damages and reasonable attorney fees to the juror upon a finding of willful misconduct by the employer. Any trial of such an action shall be to the court without a jury" (§ 13-71-134).
A willful violation is also a crime: "Willful harassment of a juror is a class 2 misdemeanor" (C.R.S. § 18-8-614). Article 71 sets no filing deadline, but Colorado's general limitations statutes do: tort actions and actions with no other stated period must be filed within two years (C.R.S. § 13-80-102), and actions for a penalty under a penal statute within one year (§ 13-80-103(1)(d)). The statutes do not say which one applies to a jury-service claim, so act promptly and talk to a Colorado employment lawyer. For how these rules fit with other limits on firing, see our page on Colorado at-will employment laws.
What happens if you miss jury duty in Colorado
Missing your date usually starts with mail. The jury commissioner may send a delinquency notice and has discretion to resolve delinquent-juror problems, and the court may take action likely to compel your appearance (§§ 13-71-122, 13-71-123). The Judicial Branch says real correspondence about a missed summons "will arrive in the form of an official legal document in the mail, titled “Failure to Appear Notice”."
If it goes further, C.R.S. § 18-8-612 applies: "A juror commits failure to obey a juror summons if he receives a summons to serve as a trial or grand juror as provided in section 13-71-110, C.R.S., and knowingly fails to obey the summons without justifiable excuse. (2) Failure to obey a juror summons is a petty offense." For offenses on or after March 1, 2022, a petty offense carries a fine of up to $300, up to 10 days in county jail, or both (§ 18-1.3-503(1.5)).
You may see older wording: § 13-71-111 as printed still tells the summons to describe failure to obey as a class 2 misdemeanor. Section 18-8-612, which defines the offense, now makes it a petty offense. If you missed your date, contact the jury commissioner for your county right away.
The juror questionnaire
Answer the questionnaire truthfully. "Willful misrepresentation of a material fact on a juror questionnaire is a class 2 misdemeanor" (C.R.S. § 18-8-613), and the questionnaire carries a declaration saying so (§ 13-71-115).
How long jury duty lasts in Colorado
Colorado uses a one-day or one-trial term. Under § 13-71-120, "Trial juror service shall be for a one-day term unless a juror is assigned to or impaneled on an incompleted trial when the one-day term ends, or unless the court orders otherwise." You may serve on more than one jury during the term, but a juror whose deliberations ended in a verdict does not have to serve on a second trial.
Before a jury is impaneled, the court must tell jurors if the trial is expected to last more than three trial days, and it may excuse a juror from that trial for hardship or inconvenience. The statute's policy is that every trial juror should be prepared to serve three trial days (§ 13-71-119(1)).
Grand jury service is different: a term of twelve months, which the court may shorten or extend, but "in no event shall a grand jury serve for longer than eighteen months" (§ 13-71-120).
How often you can be called
"To the extent practical, individuals with the least amount of jury appearances or service in the most recent years shall be summoned prior to individuals who have appeared or served more recently" (§ 13-71-108(2)). On top of that, the disqualifications in § 13-71-105(2)(f) and (g) cover anyone who served on an impaneled jury in the past twelve months or appeared in state court in the current calendar year.
A juror whose service was canceled is not disqualified under (2)(f) and may be selected again within twelve months (§ 13-71-114). The Judicial Branch notes that in small counties almost every qualified citizen may be called each year.
How to respond to a Colorado jury summons
Each county's jury commissioner handles summonses, and the summons tells you which county and what to do. The Colorado Judicial Branch runs a statewide Jury page with FAQs, the postponement and disqualification forms, the Juror Service Certificate, and a directory of jury commissioners by county.
- Read your summons for your county, report date and instructions for checking whether you need to report.
- If you are disqualified under § 13-71-105, say so through the summons or the disqualification form, with written verification where the statute requires it.
- To postpone, use the summons, the online postponement request form, or call or write the jury commissioner (§ 13-71-116).
- For a hardship or breast-feeding excuse, contact the jury commissioner before your date with any supporting documents, and wait for a decision (§ 13-71-119.5).
- If you are unemployed, apply for expense reimbursement on your first day of service (§ 13-71-128).
- After serving, give your employer the juror service acknowledgment so it can pay your first three days (§ 13-71-126).
Watch for jury duty scam calls
The Colorado Judicial Branch warns of callers who impersonate the sheriff or the court and demand money for a missed summons. "Note that law enforcement or courts will never reach out by phone to demand money for a missed jury summons, and these should be ignored" (Be Aware of Jury Duty Phone Scam).
The Judicial Branch recommends reporting these calls to your sheriff, the Colorado Attorney General's Stop Fraud Colorado, and the Federal Trade Commission, and checking any summons with your county jury commissioner. Our guide to government impersonation scams explains how these schemes work, and our page on Colorado scam and fraud laws covers where to report.
Recent changes
HB26-1288, signed May 28, 2026 (Chapter 189, Session Laws 2026), creates a jury selection working group in the judicial department to recommend best practices and statutory or rule changes (HB26-1288). It does not change qualifications, pay, excuses or penalties. HB25-1065, the age-72 opt-out bill, was vetoed on May 16, 2025.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does jury duty pay in Colorado?
An employed juror gets regular wages from the employer, up to $50 a day unless both agree to more, for the first three days (C.R.S. § 13-71-126). From the fourth day, the state pays every juror $50 a day with no separate travel reimbursement (§ 13-71-129).
Does my employer have to pay me for jury duty in Colorado?
Yes, at least for the first three days. C.R.S. § 13-71-126 requires employers to pay regularly employed jurors their regular wages, up to $50 a day unless both agree to more; an employer that willfully fails to pay can owe treble damages and attorney fees (§ 13-71-133). Employees in the state personnel system get more: Colorado's state personnel rules give them paid jury leave, up to three days for temporary employees (4 CCR 801-1, Rule 5-14).
Is there an age limit for jury duty in Colorado?
Colorado sets only a minimum age of 18 (C.R.S. § 13-71-105(2)(a)). Article 71 has no upper age limit or age-based excuse, and the 2025 bill that would have let people 72 and older opt out (HB25-1065) was vetoed; an older juror may still ask for a hardship or disability-based excuse if one applies.
Can I be fired for jury duty in Colorado?
No. C.R.S. § 13-71-134 bars an employer from depriving a juror of employment or its benefits, or harassing, threatening or coercing the juror, because of jury service; the juror can sue for damages, and willful harassment is a class 2 misdemeanor (§ 18-8-614).
What happens if I miss jury duty in Colorado?
Court jury offices send correspondence about a missed summons by mail, as a Failure to Appear Notice. Knowingly ignoring a summons without justifiable excuse is a petty offense under C.R.S. § 18-8-612, punishable by a fine of up to $300, up to 10 days in jail, or both.
How do I postpone jury duty in Colorado?
Every trial juror has the right to one postponement of up to six months, or up to twelve months for a Colorado resident attending an out-of-state college in person (C.R.S. § 13-71-116). Use the summons, the Judicial Branch's online postponement form, or call or write the jury commissioner.
Can a felon serve on a jury in Colorado?
A felony conviction disqualifies a person from grand jury service under C.R.S. § 13-71-105(3), but the statute lists no felony bar for trial jurors. The Colorado Judicial Branch says a person with a felony conviction is eligible to be a trial juror.
How long is jury duty in Colorado?
Trial jury service is a one-day term unless you are assigned to or impaneled on a trial that is not finished at the end of the day (C.R.S. § 13-71-120). The court must tell you if a trial is expected to last more than three trial days.
Can I be excused from jury duty in Colorado for breastfeeding?
Yes. A person breast-feeding a child who is temporarily unable to or chooses not to leave the child must be excused temporarily, for up to two consecutive twelve-month postponements, and the court may request a medical statement (C.R.S. § 13-71-119.5(2.5)).
