FAQ
The court could hold you in contempt and / or impose a $50 fine for each time you fail to appear. If you lose your jury summons, contact the Clerk of Superior Court office in your county as soon as possible to obtain reporting information. Procedures to request an excuse or deferral vary from county to county.
Requesting an Excuse means you are asking the court to either permanently excuse you for the entire term of your jury service or to temporarily excuse from a specific portion of your six week term. Some reasons may include: medical factors, age over 70, and residence outside of the Middle District.
You should be able to contact the jury management office or the clerk of courts and see if there's a way to postpone or be excused due to hardship cases. If they don't allow that, then you likely will have to wait to see what happens in jury selection and make your case there.
(b) Waiver of Right to Jury Trial. - A defendant accused of any criminal offense for which the State is not seeking a sentence of death in superior court may, knowingly and voluntarily, in writing or on the record in the court and with the consent of the trial judge, waive the right to trial by jury.
You may ask for an excuse or postponement in one of two ways: On-line at .ncedcourts and logging into e-JUROR. This system will accept requests up to 7 days before the jury service date noted on your summons. In writing with the mailed response card and a detailed letter.
Who can get out of jury duty? A full-time student at an out of state school. Anyone age 72 years or older. Anyone who has a disability that could interfere with their ability to serve as a juror.
Private issues are another way to get removed from a jury. Examples are overactive bladder issues, attention deficit disorder, mental health issues, cognitive delays, health concerns, pregnancy, and so on. You may have been the victim of a crime and being in another courtroom is traumatic for you.
Anyone who has a strong opinion that relates to the case will generally receive a dismissal. For example, a potential juror might believe that women are bad drivers. In a case involving a female driver, the defense attorney will request that individual's dismissal from the case.
