Parking
Cheyenne Jurors:
There is no parking available at the Courthouse. Please do not park in any church or bank parking lots. You may park at a disabled space only if you have a disabled sticker. You need to park in spaces that are for 2 hours or longer. A parking permit will be mailed to you the weeks you are required to appear for jury service. Please place the parking permit on the dashboard of your car prior to checking in for jury service.
You are instructed NOT to park along the north or south sides of the building as those areas are reserved for law enforcement. You may park in the Cox Parking Garage at 400 West 20th, but you must display a parking permit on your dashboard.
Casper Jurors:
There is no parking available at the Courthouse. Please do not park in any church or bank parking lots. You may park at a disabled space only if you have a disabled sticker. All jurors must park in the parking structure at the corner of Midwest Avenue and Wolcott (one block south of the Courthouse). The charge for the parking structure is one dollar per hour; you will be reimbursed for the cost of your parking which will be included in your jury fees check at the conclusion of your specific jury service. If you park on the street, you will receive a $5.00 parking ticket after two hours and you will be responsible for payment of that ticket. You are instructed NOT to park along the side or back of the Courthouse as it is reserved parking.
Court Etiquette
During periods you are called to serve as a juror, we ask that you use good judgment in attire (no shorts, must wear shoes, etc). Please observe the rules of etiquette in the Courtroom in order to maintain the dignity and formality of the Court. With the exception of bottled water, NO FOOD OR DRINKS ARE ALLOWED IN THE COURTROOM.
