Do college students have to serve jury duty?

Question

Do college students have to serve jury duty?

Answer 1

Yes .... but if they can prove on their return card that it will cause a severe problem with their studies they might get a pass

Answer 2

If they're over 18 and registred voters, yes.

You can request an exemption if you're a full-time student, however.

Answer 3

Yes, but you may be exempt if you are away at college in a different county.

Answer 4

If your 18 you do. The only time they will excuse you is if the trial will be longer than 3 days or if you have finals

Answer 5

It varies by state, but most jurisdictions allow full-time students to exempt themselves from serving. The juror survey form should have some info on this, or you can call the registrar of jurors (or look it up on their web site). Your college may also have info.
