- Medical reasons: If you have a medical condition that would prevent you from being able to serve on a jury, you may be excused. For example, if you have a physical disability that would make it difficult for you to sit in a courtroom for long periods of time, or if you have a mental illness that would prevent you from being able to concentrate on the evidence, you may be excused.
- Occupational reasons: If you have a job that is essential to the public good, you may be excused from jury duty. For example, if you are a doctor, firefighter, or police officer, you may be excused.
- Personal reasons: In some cases, you may be excused from jury duty for personal reasons. For example, if you have a childcare obligation that cannot be met while you are serving on a jury, or if you have a financial hardship that would be caused by serving on a jury, you may be excused.
- Be honest and upfront in your request. The court is more likely to grant your request if you are honest about the reason for your request and provide any supporting documentation.
- Submit your request as soon as possible. The earlier you submit your request, the more time the court will have to review it.
- Be prepared to attend a hearing. In some cases, the court may schedule a hearing to discuss your request. Be prepared to answer any questions that the judge may have.
