Generally, any person who is at least 18 years old and is a U.S. citizen residing in the county when summoned. Many counties or judicial districts use a written form to determine in advance a person’s eligibility to serve as a juror.
Oregon law provides that “the opportunity for jury service shall not be denied or limited on the basis of race, national origin, gender, age, religious belief, income, occupation or any other factor that discriminates against a cognizable group in this state.”
If you need special assistance with a speech or hearing disability, you should submit a written request to the court. If the court finds that you require the services of a qualified interpreter or the use of an assistive communication device to perform the functions of a juror, the necessary services will be provided at the court’s expense.
