October 29, 2024 - It has been brought to our attention that citizens are being called and advised that they have missed jury duty. They then proceed to tell them to meet at the police station and/or pay a fine and possibly spend a day or two in jail to keep from getting a warrant. This is NOT true and we will NEVER ask potential jurors to make a payment of any type over the phone. While it is true that you could get a fine for missing your jury service date, we would send a summons to you to present yourself in front of the Judge at the courthouse. We will never ask you to meet at the police station or pay any fine other than in person at the courthouse. Please be aware of this scam and share with family and friends so the community is aware. 

As of June 1, 2022, the Buchanan County Circuit Clerk’s office will no longer be accepting personal checks as payment for GAL fees.  You may still pay GAL fees by cash, credit card, money order or cashier’s check made payable to Buchanan County Circuit Clerk’s Office.
