Persons who are 70 years of age or older or those who have served on a jury within the past 5 years cannot be compelled to serve. If that is your situation or you believe you have a medical or some other SIGNIFICANT reason why you cannot serve, you must call the Jury Clerk at 918-596-5529. (Note: Stay at home parenting or self-employment typically are not sufficient reason to excuse jury service).
