What is the maximum age for jury duty?

There is no upper age limit for federal courts in the United States. Individual federal, district, state, county and city courts follow their own procedures regarding age requirements and limits for jurors. Jurors must be at least 18 years of age, states United States Courts.

Some courts exempt persons over 70 from jury service. Other exemptions may be offered for members of fire or police departments, members of the armed forces on active duty, and active public officers. Exemption from jury duties is granted at the discretion of the court, explains United States Courts. The United States Jury Selection and Service Act of 1968 describes the structure for selection of U.S. federal juries.
