FAQ
I am requesting a jury duty excusal because of my personal obligation to provide necessary and actual care to my two children. My elder child, Amy, is 3 years old and my younger child, Andrew, is 1 year old. They require constant care and attention and I do not have anyone with whom I can leave them full time.
There are several legal reasons for which you can be excused. All excuses must be made in writing to the US District Court jury office. You can mail, fax, or email your request (If you are emailing a medical excuse, a doctor's letter will also be required). You can be excused if: A) You are 70 years of age or older; B)
Active Duty Military. Full Time Students. Non-accommodating Medical Conditions. Individuals who served less that ten years ago with the State Court (this excludes Federal Court)
Reasons you may be excused from jury service include: You have no means of transportation. You would have to travel an excessive distance to the courthouse. You have a physical or mental impairment. You provide care for a dependent and cannot afford to have someone cover for you.
Sole parents, main breadwinners, leader on a big project at work, physical or mental disabilities that may impede your attendance... these things will almost always get you out of Jury Duty, though you should try to bring documentation of some kind to prove it.
During voir dire, either attorney may ask that a prospective juror be dismissed if he or she reveals information that might indicate a bias. For example, if someone were a relative of the plaintiff or defendant.
For example, write something like “My name is Jane Doe. On (date), I received a jury summons for (court date) at (court address) and was assigned the juror number (insert number here). I am writing to request to be excused from jury service because being absent from work would pose an extreme financial hardship.”
