Are there exemptions?

People over 70 may be exempted from service if they choose to do so.


You may be called for jury duty more than once, but you may only serve as a seated juror once per year. If you have served as a juror in a court outside of Berrien County and wish to claim this exemption we will require documentation to excuse you.
