What specific things could get you out of jury duty?
The Only Four Ways To Get Out of Jury Duty
Having a specific job. Active military members, professional firefighters and police officers, and full-time public government officials are exempt.
Meeting exemption criteria. One attorney explained to ‘Best Life’ “They usually include having recently served on a jury, child care obligations, travel distance, age, being a volunteer firefighter or part of an emergency crew, and financial hardship—including having a job that won’t pay you in your absence. But this is just a request and not a guarantee you will be excused from jury duty.”
You can not be a non-biased juror. Maybe you know the people going to court or are an expert on the case’s subject.
You ask for postponement: ‘Lifehacker’ explains that In many jurisdictions, it’s possible to select a postponement of up to six months with no excuses necessary.
