** JUROR PARKING ** Jurors should park only in the designated "Juror" parking lot adjacent to the Courthouse. The parking permit that came with the juror summons should be displayed on the car dashboard. (If you don't have your permit, you can obtain a replacement when reporting at the Jury counter.) If the "Juror" parking lot becomes full, please notify the deputies at the front entrance of the courthouse, and they will redirect you to an overflow lot. Do not park in the City of Palo Alto or County parking lots or you will be cited. If you are cited for any illegal parking, it will be your responsibility to pay for any citations that are issued to you. |
