Temporary Excuses

Temporary excuses can be granted for many types of temporary hardships, such as prior vacation plans, temporary medical problems and/or convalescence, students who are away at college, economic or family hardships such as you care for a child or adult in your custody whose health or safety would be jeopardized by your absence, etc. If serving as a juror at this time is an undue hardship or an extreme inconvenience for you, submit your request for a temporary excuse in writing, along with the update, in the postage-paid envelope provided by the Court. Please do not wait until the last minute to request an excuse. If you have already sent the lower portion of your summons in and you are nearing your reporting date, call the jury clerk to discuss your hardship. It is your responsibility to verify that the request has been granted.
