Nebraska Jury Duty Laws: Pay, Exemptions and Employer Rules
Independently fact-checked against primary sources (last audited October 7, 2026). · 13 primary sources cited on this page. How we verify our legal content
Nebraska state-court jury service is governed by Chapter 25, Article 16 of the Nebraska Revised Statutes, with qualifications, disqualifications and exemptions gathered in one section, Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-1650. District and county court jurors receive $35 for each day of service plus mileage under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 33-138.
Under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-1674, a summoned employee who gives reasonable notice may not be fired or lose pay, sick leave or vacation because of jury duty, though the employer may deduct the juror fee the court pays. A person 70 or older may ask to be exempt.

Jurisdiction scope: This page covers jury service in Nebraska state courts (district and county courts). A summons from the U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska follows federal law, summarized on our jury duty laws by state hub.
Do you have to serve? The short answer
Yes, if you are qualified and not disqualified, unless you claim one of the few exemptions or a judge excuses or postpones you. Nebraska's statute is direct about it: "No qualified potential juror is exempt from jury service, except that any person seventy years of age or older who makes a request to be exempt" may be exempted (Neb. Rev. Stat. 25-1650(3)). Separate provisions cover active-duty service members, National Guard members and nursing mothers.
Everything else, from child care to work conflicts to travel, goes through a judge's hardship decision, apart from the disability and recent-service rules covered below. To see which route might fit your situation before you contact the court, try our jury duty exemption checker.
Who can serve on a jury in Nebraska
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-1650(1) says: "All citizens of the United States residing in any of the counties of this state who are over the age of nineteen years, able to read, speak, and understand the English language, and free from all disqualifications set forth under this section and from all other legal exceptions are qualified to serve on all grand and petit juries in their respective counties."
The statute's phrase is "over the age of nineteen years," while the Nebraska Judicial Branch's jury page words it as being 19 years of age or older. If you are exactly 19, ask the clerk which reading your court applies. The statute sets no minimum length of county residence.
Who is disqualified
The same subsection lists people who are disqualified from grand and petit jury service:
- judges of any court;
- clerks of the Supreme Court or district courts;
- sheriffs;
- jailers;
- parties, or the spouse of a party, to a suit pending in their county for trial to that jury panel;
- persons convicted of a felony when the conviction has not been set aside or a pardon issued; and
- persons subject to liability for an offense that, by special provision of law, disqualifies them.
The statute adds: "Spouses shall not serve as jurors on the same panel."
A person who, because of a physical or mental disability, is incapable of rendering satisfactory jury service is not qualified, but must submit a physician's certificate, and the court may question the certifying physician. Subsection (4) says the certificate or other documentation is not a public record.
Felony convictions
Nebraska's jury statute disqualifies "persons who have been convicted of a felony when such conviction has not been set aside or a pardon issued." The two ways out the statute names are a set-aside or a pardon; it does not say that finishing a sentence restores jury eligibility. A separate statute, Neb. Rev. Stat. § 29-112, says a person sentenced for a felony is "incompetent to be a juror" unless the Board of Pardons issues a warrant of discharge, which restores the civil rights the Board lists. Voting rights come back automatically when a sentence, including any parole, is complete, but jury eligibility does not. A court order setting aside a conviction under § 29-2264, available only for certain sentences such as probation, a fine only, community service or a sentence of no more than one year of imprisonment, removes all civil disabilities and disqualifications imposed as a result of that conviction. If you have a felony record and receive a summons, answer the qualification form truthfully and ask the clerk or a Nebraska lawyer whether you are eligible.
Exemptions, excuses and postponements in Nebraska
| Situation | How it works | Cite |
|---|---|---|
| Age 70 or older | Exempt if you ask, on the qualification form or in writing after being summoned | Neb. Rev. Stat. 25-1650(3) |
| Active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces | Exempt if you ask, with documentation of active-duty status | Neb. Rev. Stat. 25-1650(1) |
| Active member of the Nebraska National Guard or State Guard | Exempt from grand and petit juries while an active member | Neb. Rev. Stat. 55-173 |
| Nursing mother | Excused on request until no longer nursing, with a physician's certificate | Neb. Rev. Stat. 25-1650(1) |
| Physical or mental disability preventing satisfactory service | Not qualified; physician's certificate required | Neb. Rev. Stat. 25-1650(1), (4) |
| Undue hardship, extreme inconvenience or public necessity | Judge may excuse for a period, then you reappear | Neb. Rev. Stat. 25-1650(2) |
| Postponement to a later panel | Court may postpone a petit juror to a specific future panel | Neb. Rev. Stat. 25-1667 |
| Recent heavy service in the past five years | Cannot be required to serve again (see the service limits below) | Neb. Rev. Stat. 25-1670 |
Age: the 70-and-over exemption
Under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-1650(3), "any person seventy years of age or older who makes a request to be exempt to the court at the time the juror qualification form is filed with the jury commissioner or who makes such a request in writing after being qualified and summoned shall be exempt from serving on grand and petit juries."
The exemption works only if you ask, either on the qualification form or in writing after you are summoned. The statute does not say whether one request covers future summonses, so a person who is summoned again may need to ask again.
Hardship excuses
Nebraska's jury statute lists no hardship categories. Instead, under § 25-1650(2), "The district court or any judge thereof may exercise the power of excusing any grand or petit juror or any person summoned for grand or petit jury service upon a showing of undue hardship, extreme inconvenience, or public necessity for such period as the court deems necessary. At the conclusion of such period the person shall reappear for jury service in accordance with the court's direction."
So a hardship excuse is usually a delay, not a release. The excuse and its grounds are entered on the court's record, and in a district with several judges, excusal authority may be handed to a presiding judge.
Postponing your service
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-1667 says: "The court may postpone service of a petit juror from one jury panel to a specific future jury panel." The Nebraska Judicial Branch says postponement requires a written request showing undue hardship, extreme inconvenience or public necessity, that a granted postponement "will be for a limited period," and that you may use the Application for Postponement of Jury Service (DC 8:4) form (Nebraska Judicial Branch, Jury Service). The research found no statewide cap on how many times you may postpone.
Nursing mothers
"A nursing mother who requests to be excused shall be excused from jury service until she is no longer nursing her child, but the mother shall be required to submit a physician's certificate in support of her request" (Neb. Rev. Stat. 25-1650(1)). The court's page describes this as a written request plus a physician's certificate.
Military service members and the National Guard
Under § 25-1650(1), "A person who is serving on active duty as a member of the United States Armed Forces who requests to be exempt shall be exempt from jury service, but such person shall be required to submit documentation of his or her active-duty status in support of his or her request."
For the state's own forces, Neb. Rev. Stat. § 55-173 says officers and enlisted members of the Nebraska National Guard and Nebraska State Guard "shall be exempt from ... sitting on any grand or petit jury within this state while they are active members thereof." That section contains no request language, but telling the clerk on your summons is the practical step.
Federal law separately says an active-duty member of the armed forces may not be required to serve on a state or local jury if the member's branch Secretary determines that service would unreasonably interfere with military duties or adversely affect unit readiness, and that determination is conclusive (10 U.S.C. § 982).
How much does jury duty pay in Nebraska?
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 33-138 says: "Each member of a grand or petit jury in a district court or county court shall receive for his or her services thirty-five dollars for each day employed in the discharge of his or her duties and mileage at the rate provided in section 81-1176 for each mile necessarily traveled."
| Item | Rule | Cite |
|---|---|---|
| Daily pay | $35 for each day of service, district or county court | Neb. Rev. Stat. 33-138(1) |
| Mileage | Each mile necessarily traveled, at the rate provided in section 81-1176 | Neb. Rev. Stat. 33-138(1) |
| Days excused or voluntarily absent | No pay | Neb. Rev. Stat. 33-138(1) |
| Nonjudicial days | No pay unless actually serving as a juror that day | Neb. Rev. Stat. 33-138(1) |
| Who pays | The county | Neb. Rev. Stat. 33-138(3) |
| Waiver | A juror may voluntarily waive payment | Neb. Rev. Stat. 33-138(4) |
The statute ties mileage to section 81-1176, which refers to a rate set by the state Department of Administrative Services and prints no figure. We could not confirm the current per-mile rate, so check your summons or ask the clerk. The court may also allow mileage for extra trips caused by a temporary release from service.
Nebraska employer rules for jury duty
What the statute protects
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-1674 says: "Any person who is summoned to serve on jury duty shall not be subject to discharge from employment, loss of pay, loss of sick leave, loss of vacation time, or any other form of penalty as a result of his or her absence from employment due to such jury duty upon giving reasonable notice to his or her employer of such summons."
The section applies to "any person who is summoned." It sets no minimum employer size and no full-time condition. It does require "reasonable notice" to your employer, a term it does not define, so give your employer a copy of the summons as soon as you get it.
Pay, the juror-fee offset and shift work
The same section bars an employer from subjecting an employee to "loss of pay" because of jury duty, "except that an employer may reduce the pay of an employee by an amount equal to any compensation, other than expenses, paid by the court for jury duty." In other words, the statute lets the employer subtract the $35 daily juror fee from your pay, but not mileage or other expense payments.
It also says: "Any person who is summoned to serve on jury duty shall be excused upon request from any shift work for those days required to serve as a juror without loss of pay." If you work nights or rotating shifts, ask your employer in writing to be excused from the shifts on your jury days.
How these rules apply to a particular pay arrangement (for example, commission or hourly work) is not spelled out in the section. Read your employer's policy alongside the statute and ask a Nebraska employment lawyer if you lose pay.
If your employer violates the law
"Any person violating this section shall be guilty of a Class IV misdemeanor" (Neb. Rev. Stat. 25-1674). The section does not itself create a civil lawsuit for the employee, mention reinstatement, or state a filing deadline. Whether other Nebraska law gives an employee a civil claim was outside our research, so talk to a Nebraska employment lawyer promptly if you were fired or docked. For how this fits with other limits on firing, see our page on Nebraska at-will employment laws.
What happens if you miss jury duty in Nebraska
Under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-1661(2), "Any person summoned for jury service who fails to appear or to complete jury service as directed may be ordered by the court to appear forthwith and show cause for such failure to comply with the summons. If such person fails to show good cause for noncompliance with the summons, he or she shall be guilty of contempt of court." The section names no fine or jail amount.
Subsection (3) says a person is not guilty of contempt under that section for failing to respond to a summons sent by first-class mail under a one-step qualifying and summoning system if the person was found not qualified, was excused, or had service postponed, or to a summons sent through a jury management system. How courts apply the jury-management-system clause is not clear from the text, so do not rely on it; respond to every summons.
The qualification form also carries a penalty. "Any person who knowingly fails to complete and return or who willfully misrepresents a material fact on a juror qualification form for the purpose of avoiding or securing service as a juror shall be guilty of contempt of court" (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-1658). A person who does not return the form may be directed by the jury commissioner to appear and fill it out.
How long jury duty lasts in Nebraska
Jurors are called for a jury term set by the court; the research found no statewide fixed term length. What the law does cap is how often you can be made to serve. Under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-1670, "In any five-year period no person shall be required to: (1) Serve as a petit juror for more than four calendar weeks, except if necessary to complete service in a particular case; (2) Serve on more than one grand jury; or (3) Serve as both a grand and petit juror."
If one of those limits applies to you, tell the clerk when you respond to the summons.
How to respond to a Nebraska jury summons
Each county runs its own jury process; the research found no single statewide online juror portal. The Nebraska Judicial Branch says that in most cases the Clerk of the District Court serves as the jury commissioner.
- Complete and return the juror qualification form. If you are 70 or older and want the exemption, ask for it on the form.
- To ask to be excused, the court says: "immediately notify the clerk of the court who has summoned you in writing." A judge reviews the request.
- To postpone, submit a written request showing undue hardship, extreme inconvenience or public necessity; the Application for Postponement of Jury Service (DC 8:4) form is available through the Nebraska Judicial Branch jury page.
- Include any physician's certificate or active-duty documentation the statute requires, and treat your report date as firm until the court decides.
Watch for jury duty scam calls
The Nebraska Judicial Branch's scam alert says: "Important: Nebraska courts never serve arrest warrants by phone, text, or email." It adds that if someone contacts you asking for personal or financial information about jury service, it is a scam, and that you can verify a call or notice by contacting your local trial court clerk (Nebraska Court Scam Alert).

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does jury duty pay in Nebraska?
Nebraska district and county court jurors receive $35 for each day of service plus mileage at the state rate set under section 81-1176, paid by the county (Neb. Rev. Stat. 33-138). There is no pay for days you are excused.
Can I get out of jury duty in Nebraska if I am over 70?
Yes, if you ask. A person 70 or older who requests exemption on the juror qualification form, or in writing after being summoned, shall be exempt (Neb. Rev. Stat. 25-1650(3)).
Does my employer have to pay me for jury duty in Nebraska?
On reasonable notice, Neb. Rev. Stat. 25-1674 bars an employer from subjecting you to loss of pay because of jury duty, but lets the employer reduce your pay by the juror compensation the court pays, other than expenses.
Can I be fired for jury duty in Nebraska?
No. A summoned employee who gives reasonable notice may not be discharged or penalized because of jury duty, and a violation is a Class IV misdemeanor (Neb. Rev. Stat. 25-1674).
Can a felon serve on a jury in Nebraska?
Nebraska's jury statute disqualifies a person convicted of a felony when the conviction has not been set aside or a pardon issued (Neb. Rev. Stat. 25-1650(1)(f)). Finishing a sentence restores voting rights but not jury eligibility; a Board of Pardons warrant of discharge, a pardon or a court set-aside is needed (Neb. Rev. Stat. 29-112; 29-2264).
Can I postpone jury duty in Nebraska?
The court may postpone a petit juror to a specific future panel (Neb. Rev. Stat. 25-1667). The Nebraska Judicial Branch says to submit a written request showing undue hardship, extreme inconvenience or public necessity, using form DC 8:4 if you wish.
What happens if I miss jury duty in Nebraska?
The court may order you to appear and show cause, and if you cannot show good cause you are guilty of contempt of court (Neb. Rev. Stat. 25-1661).
How often can I be called for jury duty in Nebraska?
In any five-year period, no one can be required to serve as a petit juror for more than four calendar weeks (except to finish a case), on more than one grand jury, or as both a grand and petit juror (Neb. Rev. Stat. 25-1670).
