Which statement best describes a stated qualification for municipal court jurors?

• A. Must be able to read and write
• B. Must be a city employee
• C. Must have a driver's license
• D. Must be a college graduate

Answer: (A)

Reading and writing ability is a basic requirement for serving as a municipal court juror. Jurors need to read court summons, instructions, evidence, and written forms, and they may take notes or complete verdict forms. Being literate ensures they can understand and participate accurately, which supports fair deliberation. The other statements aren’t standard requirements: being a city employee, having a driver’s license, or holding a college degree are not typically prerequisites for jury service, since the aim is to involve a broad cross-section of citizens who can understand and participate in the trial process.
