Juror Qualification Questionnaire

Minnesota citizens who receive a summons for jury service are required by law to complete a Juror Qualification Questionnaire and return it to the court for qualification determination. There are no automatic exemptions from jury duty. All who are summoned must serve on jury duty unless they are disqualified or excused by the court for the following reasons:

• You are not a citizen of the United States
• You are under 18 years of age
• You are not a resident of the county that summoned you for service
• You are not able to communicate in English
• You have a mental or physical disability that would affect your ability to serve
• You have been convicted of a felony and are still on parole or under the supervision of the court, probation, or corrections
• You have served on jury duty within the past 4 years
• You are a judge in the judicial branch of government
• You are over 70 years of age and request to be excused

Completing the Juror Qualification Questionnaire accurately and completely will help the courts determine if you are qualified to serve as a juror. It is important that the records regarding your name and address are accurate and up-to-date. Please remember to include any changes in your personal information when completing your questionnaire. Any incorrect information may cause delays in receiving important jury notices or your payment after you complete your jury service.

If you have questions relating to your jury service, see the Frequently Asked Questions.
