Summary

Jury Access for Capable Citizens and Equality in Service Selection Act of 2017 or the Jury ACCESS Act

This bill amends the federal judicial code to prohibit the exclusion of citizens from service as a grand or petit juror in U.S. district courts or the Court of International Trade on account of sexual orientation or gender identity (thereby expanding the current prohibition against exclusion on account of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or economic status).
