Given the fundamental principle of freedom of religion, it follows that the Amish have the same legal rights and responsibilities as any other citizen, therefore they can serve on juries. But in practical terms, it would be very unusual for them to do so. They don't live in high crime areas, and they have their own ways to deal with social transgression in their community.
