March is Women’s History Month and the 21st Judicial Circuit would like to salute the women making history now in St. Louis County and those women who helped pave the way. Pictured are just some of the amazing women who work for the citizens of St. Louis County at our Courthouse including a few of the 23 female judicial officers currently serving the 21st Judicial Circuit. Also, you can see the portraits of a number of women who made history in St. Louis County. The Hon. Ann Quill Niederlander was the first woman Judge in St. Louis County. The Hon. Susan Block was the first women elected as Judge in St. Louis County. Also, the Hon. Barbara Wallace was the first woman to serve as Presiding Judge in St. Louis County. Their portraits hang in the St. Louis County Courthouse as part of the Women Lawyers’ Association of Greater St. Louis Judicial portrait project. Thank you to all the women in the past and those working now in the largest Circuit Court in the State of Missouri.

The 21st Judicial Circuit Court in St. Louis County wants to warn citizens about reports of a scam threatening arrest if you fail to pay a fine for missing jury duty.

How it works:
- You get a call at home, at work or on your cell phone that you missed jury duty and
- You need to pay a fine right away (usually with a pre-paid debit card)
- If you refuse to pay the fine, they threaten to have you arrested

Scammers can be convincing by repeating personal identifying information that makes it seem like they are legitimate. Please be aware that the Courts, law enforcement and other government agencies do not make phone calls about missing jury service and warrants and will never ask for payment or financial information over the phone.

If you should receive such a phone call, please contact your local law enforcement.

A legitimate jury summons from St. Louis County Courts would come in the mail.
If you are unsure if a jury summons is valid you can call the Jury office at 314-615-2669
