In federal court, a juror must meet three primary criteria: they must be a U.S. citizen, at least 18 years old, and possess sufficient proficiency in English. These criteria ensure that jurors can meaningfully participate in the deliberation and evaluation of legal arguments. While general familiarity with law or prior jury service might seem relevant, they are not prerequisites under federal law.
