The Los Angeles County Superior Court has engaged in various communications regarding jury services. Initially, the court sought applicants for its 23-member Civil Grand Jury for the 2027-28 term, a role focused on investigating and reviewing local government agencies.

Subsequently, the court issued a warning regarding a jury duty scam. Fraudulent actors have been contacting residents via phone, email, or text, falsely claiming that individuals missed jury service and face outstanding arrest warrants. Court officials clarified that the court will never threaten arrest or request sensitive information such as Social Security numbers or bank details via these methods.
