Dear Sender, Thank you for your message. I am currently serving jury duty and will be unavailable until Return Date. This civic duty requires my full attention, and I will have limited access to email during this time.
Reasons for Being Excused from Jury Service Medical reasons. Public necessity. Undue hardship. Dependent care. Student Status. Military conflict. Other reason deemed sufficient by the court.
Have not been adjudged incompetent by a court. Must be able to read, write and comprehend the English language. Cannot have been convicted of a felony within the last 10 years. Cannot have served on a jury panel within the county within the past year.
Prospective jurors are put under oath when they are questioned (subjected to a void dire examination), so any prospective juror who lies could be prosecuted for perjury (a five-year felony in federal court).
Filling Out the Prospective Juror Questionnaire Less is more. Answer ONLY the question that is asked—do NOT include in your answer things that were not asked for. Avoid extremes when possible.
Those who refuse to complete the juror questionnaire or refuse to appear when called to serve are subject to fines and jail time for contempt of court.
