FAQ
Your manager is wrong to ask you to write that letter. This is your civic duty and you shouldn't be pressured not to fulfill your obligation to society. You can write them but chances are it will be denied anyway. They are really cracking down in my area on jurors. Very few excuses are considered valid these days.
Dress Code Acceptable court attire is business or business casual dress (jeans are allowed). No shorts, tank tops, crop tops or bare feet are permitted. If the judicial officer finds your clothing inappropriate you could be ordered to go home to change or to return to court on another day.
When writing a jury excuse letter, directly state why you cannot serve and how serving would lead to hardship. Valid exemptions include being ill or disabled, being the sole guardian of young children, or being over the age of 70. Include documentation such as a doctor's note or a letter from an employer.
Jury questionnaires must be filled out completely and returned within 20 days of the postmark on questionnaire.
Permanent excuses for medical reasons are subject to review. All medical excuses must be signed by a physician. Jurors 70 years of age and older may be excused for medical reasons upon their written request and are not required to submit a note from their doctor.
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.”
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.
Ing to the Supreme Court, the jury-trial right applies only when "serious" offenses are at hand—petty offenses don't invoke it. For purposes of this right, a serious offense is one that carries a potential sentence of more than six months' imprisonment.
Jurors' names are randomly selected by computer from lists of registered voters and persons who have valid California drivers' licenses or identification cards issued by Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
