Celebrating Juror Appreciation Month
Jurors are the backbone of our justice system. That’s why each year the Clerk & Comptroller’s office honors local citizens who answer the call to duty. Clerk Sharon Bock and Chief Judge Kathleen Kroll hosted a ceremony on Monday, April 30, to kick off Juror Appreciation Month at the main courthouse in downtown West Palm Beach.
Community leaders honor jurors during Juror Appreciation Month.

Joining the Clerk and Chief Judge in the celebration were Chief Assistant State Attorney Allen Johnson, Public Defender Carey Haughwout, Palm Beach County Bar Association President Manny Farach, Palm Beach County Commission Chair Addie Greene and West Palm Beach Mayor Lois Frankel.
During the month of May, the Clerk’s office also accepted nominations for the Jury Duty Employer Appreciation award, which honors employers for providing both time off and regular pay while employees serve jury duty. This year, the Clerk & Comptroller recognized thirteen employers.
