So, you got called for jury duty in Michigan? Don't worry, it's not a surprise quiz about the state fish (it's the walleye, by the way). But hey, a summons can be confusing, especially when it comes to that whole age thing. Let's break it down, with a little less legalese and a little more "lawyered up" jokes, shall we?
The Age Game: Who Gets to Play Judge and Jury (Literally)
In the glorious state of Michigan, you can ditch the juice box and step up to jury duty service as soon as you turn 18 years old. Yep, that's right. Congratulations! You're officially an adult, at least in the eyes of the court system (sorry, Mom and Dad, this doesn't mean you can stop doing your laundry).
But Wait, There's More! (Because There Always Is)
While 18 is the minimum, there are a few twists on the age limit:
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.
