FAQ
If you want to postpone your service to a later date or be excused, you must make a request in writing to the jury office of the courthouse to which you have been summoned.
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.

Any person who fails to appear pursuant to such order or who fails to show good cause for noncompliance with the summons may be fined up to $1,000.00, imprisoned not more than three days, ordered to perform community service, or any combination thereof.
You are exempt if 1) you are in active service in the PA or U.S. armed forces, 2) you are an immediate family member of a victim of a criminal homicide, or 3) you served as a juror within the past three years (unless you served for only 1 or 2 days).
No, the law prohibits any employer from preventing an employee from serving as a juror. The law also prohibits an employer from depriving a juror of benefits because of jury service, such as requiring you to use vacation time to serve.
The only way to be immune to jury duty is to not have a driver's license and not register to vote.
