What are the qualifications to serve as a juror?
Every Wisconsin resident of the county served by a circuit court who is at least 18 years old, a U.S. citizen, and is able to understand the English language is qualified to serve as a juror in that court unless he or she has been convicted of a felony and has not had his or her civil rights restored. The most important qualities of a juror are fairness and impartiality. A juror must lay aside all bias and prejudice. A juror is the foundation of our judicial system, and his or her actions and decisions should reflect this important role.
