Juror Appreciation Week – May 12–16, 2025

Recognizing the Citizens Who Uphold Justice
Each year, the California Judicial Branch observes Juror Appreciation Week during the second full week of May. From May 12 through May 16, 2025, the Santa Barbara Superior Court joins in honoring the vital role jurors play in the fair administration of justice.
The right to a trial by an impartial jury is guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment of the United States Constitution. This foundational principle ensures that individuals accused of crimes are judged fairly by a jury of their peers. Jurors are not merely participants—they are defenders of justice, accountability, and due process.
At the Santa Barbara Superior Court, we extend our deepest gratitude to all those who have served. Your dedication and civic responsibility help ensure that the promise of the Sixth Amendment is upheld every day in our courtrooms.
To those who have answered the call to jury duty: thank you for your service and your commitment to justice.
