Wayne County Municipal Court

Jury Duty:

As of July 10, 2026, the Municipal Court has launched, Jury from ezJustice, an online jury management system designed to simplify jury service.  The online portal allows jurors to complete required forms electronically, upload documents, such as doctor’s notes, if requesting an excuse, receive text or email notifications, and review all jury-related communications in one secure location.  Text notifications and call-in numbers will originate from a 567-area code because the software provider, ezJustice, is based in Mansfield, Ohio

Prospective jurors will receive an official postcard directing them to the jury portal to complete their juror qualification questionnaire.  Jurors can access the portal by using the barcode located on their postcard or by visiting: https://oh.ezjustice.us/jury/waynemuni.  All information pertaining to jury service can be viewed on the portal.
