The Court realizes that from time to time jurors need to request temporary absence from jury service. These absences are generally for appointments with a physician, scheduled vacation time, business obligations, etc. The Court will make every effort to accommodate temporary absences during your term, but these absences DO NOT constitute a valid reason for being excused for the entire term. Excusal requests need to be in writing in advance and may be faxed, e-mailed or mailed to:
When requesting a permanent excuse, you must personally submit it in writing. Do not have your employer write a letter for you.
Note: Please be sure to include your address and your telephone number.
Note: Please do not ask to be excused on the morning of trial, as it is too late except in the case of an extreme emergency like an illness or death in the immediate family.
Jurors will be notified by phone, either at work or home. Jury trials generally are set on a Monday, and you will be called on the Friday before. However, if the trial is set for Tuesday, you will be called on Monday, and so forth. We regret that we cannot give you more notice than this, but trials are often settled as the trial nears.A message on an answering machine/voice mail is considered notification.
