So far as I know, most states require that you be a citizen, over 18, and that you be able to read and understand English. I've never heard of a high school education requirement, although I suppose they could require that.

Qualifications? Yes. High school diploma? No. I don't know of any state that would have that as a qualification. The qualifications that most places have are along the lines of being 18, sufficiently proficient in English, no felony convictions, stuff like that.

18 and breathing is pretty much what it takes to be called. Getting on a jury is another matter.
In some cases, attorneys may prefer folks with LESS education, not more.

Not all states do this... do you really expect someone to look up all 50 states to see if it's "most" (or even "any")?
