How can I be excused from jury service for work, taking care of a sick child, etc.?
Jury service is important, and you will generally not be excused except in the cases where jury service imposes an extreme hardship to you. It is up to each judge to determine whether or not your circumstances justify excusing you from jury duty. If you believe you need to be excused from jury service for any reason, please contact the court clerk for your county and request an excuse.
