Home < Jury Service < Exemptions From Jury Duty

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1863(b)(6), the Court finds that it is in the public interest
that the following groups of persons and occupational classes are exempt from jury duty
and that their exemption would not be inconsistent with 28 U.S.C. §§ 1861-1862:

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.

A request for permanent excuse for any of the groups listed above must be in writing and attached to the juror information portion of the juror summons when it is returned to the court.
