Lodging

If you live more than 80 miles from the courthouse, and the reporting time makes travel inconvenient, you may receive reimbursement of $166 for the night before jury selection, and during the duration of the trial.

The hotels listed are conveniently located in or near the Spartanburg downtown area. Receipts for lodging are required. Receipts for food are not required. Jurors are responsible for making their own hotel accommodations. You may ask for the government rate when making your reservation. Present your summons at check-in as proof.

If you elect lodging in excess of the reimbursement rate, you will be responsible for the overage. Jurors should use conventional lodging options (e.g. hotels, motels) for official travel. Non-conventional lodging, properties, or lodging providers (e.g. Airbnb, VRBO, Homeaway) are not eligible for reimbursements.

Should you have questions, please contact the Jury Division by email at Jury@scd.uscourts.gov or call (803)253-3382 during regular business hours.

 

 

Parking

A public parking garage is located at 100 N. Church Street. The garage is situated between N. Church Street and Magnolia Street and is accessible from either street. Please bring $4 for your parking fee; the Court will reimburse you for parking. If you park in the garage, show your summons to the parking attendant, then place it on your dash. If you park at a metered space place your summons on your dash to avoid a ticket. We cannot reimburse you for parking tickets or towing fees.

 

Residence

The District of South Carolina is divided into four large jury areas which may require travel to a courthouse some distance from one's home. Since all jurors are selected randomly by computer, a person may be summoned to a courthouse which is not the closest Federal Courthouse to their home. Residing in one of the following counties makes you eligible to serve in Spartanburg.

Abbeville Greenville Newberry Spartanburg
Anderson Greenwood Oconee Union
Cherokee Laurens Pickens  
Edgefield McCormick Saluda  

If you have moved and no longer reside in one of the above counties, please send a letter to Clerk of Court, 901 Richland Street, Columbia, SC 29201 and you will be excused.
