There is a parking lot directly west of the courthouse.

Courthouse Security Information
The Sheriff’s Office is responsible for providing security in the courthouse. The Clinton County Courthouse is equipped with a walk-through metal detector and x-ray scanner. Your person and belongings will be scanned for prohibited items upon entering the courthouse. Thus, you may want to avoid having an excessive amount of metal or electronic objects on your person.

Jury Check-in Information
To check trial status information, please call (563) 243-5879. The recording is updated each week no later than 5:00 p.m. the Friday prior to the jurors’ service date. The instructions on the recording will tell jurors where and when to report.

Travel, Mileage, and Other Expenses
Jurors are reimbursed for travel to and from residence to the courthouse at a rate of .50 per mile as approved by the supreme court. 

Compensation
Pursuant to state law, you will be paid $30 a day for each day of jury service up to seven days; $50 a day for eight or more days of service.  You may waive the right to compensation, which will help reduce the state's cost of operating the court system.
