If you believe that serving as a Juror would pose a hardship for you, you may request to be excused. Please provide complete information on the Juror Response form in order for our office to determine whether or not to excuse you. The Court will weigh the basis for your excuse against its need for jurors. The Court may deny a request for excuse and require you to serve or defer your jury duty to a later date. If you are over 70 years of age, you may be excused upon request either by mail, email, or telephone communication. All other requests must be in writing.
If you are seeking to be excused because of medical conditions, please provide a doctor’s certification regarding your medical condition. Other reasons for seeking to be excused can include: having moved out of state or to another county; full time student; non-citizen of the United States; active duty in the Armed Services; breast-feeding a new born baby; and prior service as a juror.
