LodgingIf you live more than 80 miles from the courthouse, and the reporting time makes travel inconvenient, you may receive reimbursement of $189 for the night before jury selection, and during the duration of the trial. The hotels listed are conveniently located in or near the Columbia 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. Click here for Columbia hotel information. This list is provided as a courtesy, not as an endorsement. This is not an all-inclusive listing of hotel options. 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 [email protected] or call 803-253-3382 during regular business hours.

ResidenceThe District of South Carolina is divided into four 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 Columbia.
