to what age do you stop serving on jury duty?
Is there an age limit where a person is NOT required to serve jury duty? Example: A person age 77 â is he/she required to serve, or can they be excused because of age? It depends on the jurisdiction, but generally, a person can be excused for reasons that include age or a medical condition. In Cook County, potential jurors age 70 and older can opt out by calling a number on the summons prior to the service date. Opting out does not permanently remove the personâs name from the juror list, and they can be summoned in the future. The rules are different in DuPage County, where there is no upper age limit.
