Jury Service
Jurors listen to testimony, review evidence, and render decisions in civil and criminal trials. Most U.S. citizens who are 18 or older may serve on a federal jury. The Jury Selection and Service Act (link is external) establishes the process for selecting jurors and provides requirements citizens must meet in order to qualify for serving on a federal jury.
