A college student can be required to sit on a jury if the trial is scheduled at a time when the student is not in class. True/False?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. True only if member of honor society
• D. False unless the student is enrolled full-time

Answer: (B)

Jury service rules recognize that being a college student isn’t an automatic exemption, and courts consider whether serving would create undue hardship, such as missing essential classes or exams. The decision to seat a juror isn’t determined solely by whether a trial is scheduled at a time when the student is not in class; other factors and exemptions can apply.

So the statement implies a guaranteed outcome based on the class schedule, but in practice the availability of a student for jury service isn’t decided simply by whether they’re in class. The condition described does not itself create a right to be seated, and exemptions or deferrals can still apply for reasons beyond the class timetable. Hence, the statement is not a reliable rule.
