Home < Jury Service < Exemptions From Jury Duty

The court finds that it is in the public interest and would not be inconsistent with Title 28 U.S.C. Sections 1861 or 1862, to bar the following groups of persons and occupational classes from jury service on the ground that they are exempt:

1. members in active service in the Armed Forces of the United States;
2. full-time members of the fire or police departments of any state, district, territory, possession, or subdivision thereof; and
3. public officers in the executive, legislative, or judicial branches of the government of the United States, or any state, district, territory, possession, or subdivision thereof, who are actively engaged in the performance of official duties.
