Request a Deferral

Scales of Justice on a courtroom desk

Submit Your Request Via Online Response Form
  • Online Jury Response Form 
  • Jurors are asked to propose other possible dates to fulfill their service. These proposed dates may not be more than one (1) year from the original jury summons date and should be considered final if approved. 
  • Submit supporting documentation in writing to Columbia.Jury@OJD.state.or.us. 
  • When your request is processed you will receive a status notification.
  • If denied, you will need to be prepared to serve once your summons begins by monitoring the Schedule.


The Court may approve your deferral request once if good cause is shown.
  • At this time, due to public need, we are unable to approve subsequent deferral requests.
