Answer 2

When you go to answer the attorney's (or whoever) (before you/they serve on the jury/jury duty) when they ask a few chosen and you hear the question "Has anyone already convicted my cliet?" All you have to do is raise your hand and say that you have. He will tell you that you can leave,
If you're referring to the letter you get, just answer the questions that you know will get you off.
If they phone you, asking if you think he/she is guilty, respond "Evetentally they are quilty, or they wouldn't be there." That's another way to get off. Just answewrw like you already made your mind up that the person is guilty and you're off the hook, you're free.

Answer 3

1.) Financia Hardship

If your employer will not pay you for you time, you can plead financial hardship. [requirees confirmation from employer)

2.) Felon

If you have committed a felony, you are not eligible. Simply notify the court before your summons date.

3.) Armed Services

If you are active duty military personel, you may be excused

4.) Student/Nursing Mother/Work Hardship

These three can buy you a six month delay.

Other than these, you will still have to show up at court on your summons date. In some counties, ploys like showing up in Klan robes (lol) won't do you much good: It may get you dismissed from a particular case, but you're still required to serve two weeks, which means showing up and sitting in the stupid little room till your name is called for a panel.

In other counties, you serve a single day unless selected.

So, I guess the answer really depends on your locality.

(NOTE: Many employers DO pay your time for jury-duty. If yours does... Well, think of it as a few days getting paid to do nothing. Bring a book, and kick back.)

Answer 4

a minimum of in Virginia a non-working mom is excused from serving jury accountability. the guideline is which you're able to desire to serve while you're a working mom. i be attentive to first hand using fact i became excused from serving on that foundation eventhough I had a factor-time night interest. I had stated that I worked evenings using fact daycare became no longer low-value or actual had for an toddler. It became a stretch of the policies however the decide grudgingly widespread it. (It additionally helped that I confirmed up the 1st day to courtroom with the toddler in a carriage). If that doesnt artwork, my grandmother kinda pulled a quickly one as quickly as using fact she did no longer choose for to serve. She had some worried condition issues (rigidity made her hands shake) and she or he pretended to be off her rocker thoroughly. ;)

Answer 5

Commit a felony and get caught. [In Fla convicted felons lose most of their civil rights, including their right to vote and their right to serve on a jury.]
As for the jury you'll end up with at your own trial, well, don't count on finding any of your peers; they're too busy avoiding jury duty.

Answer 6

The only way to get out of it without dieing or getting injured is to let the person who interviews you before jury begins that you are against all races except your own and that you think anyone who is accused of a crime should be locked away without a fair trial.They will get rid of you very fast.My mom did that a few times.

Answer 7

I know this one! There are very few things that will get you out of it.

Here are four that I know have worked before:

1.You have no one to care for your children or elderly parent during the trial.

2. You have an important doctor appointment that you need and are unable to reschedule.

3. You have non refundable plane tickets for a trip.

4. You will experience serious financial problems due to loss of income.

By the way, you will need proof of these things. Good luck. And sometime when you have time you should try it. It's a very interesting experience.

Answer 8

Why dont you just suck it up and do your civic duty. I had jury duty a few years ago and thought it was great. I helped send a couple of lying scumbags to prison.

Answer 9

There are many reasons why a person is excused from jury duty.

Ask around, there has to be many of your friends and neighbors who have been excused. Ask about their reasons.

Answer 10

Why would you want to get out of it? Answer that, and you likely will.

Or ... look at it as a chance to see how the system really works! You could be the one making a difference. A difference in someone elses life!

Otherwise, many of the suggestions above are good, providing they are legal.

A documented mental disability, e.g. bipolar disorder or schizophrenia, severe personality disorders. Also, a chronic physical problem made worse by sitting in one position for hours at a time. Why do you want to get out of it? It's really very interesting.
