I have ADD, social anxiety, and have panic attacks in a room full of people.

I actually went to one before and I did have panic attack when they were going around the room to interview each juror. I really do have social anxiety, but I don't know if that would excuse me. I don't have any doctor's note from pshycologists.

The best excuse is to show up

The real question is why do you really want an excuse to keep from doing your civic duty? Your employer doesn't have a policy to cover your absence during your jury duty? Odd. Now having stated my goody two shoes reply, in my area the judges are really tough & from my personal experiance, less than .1% (that's point 1 percent) potential jurors are excused. Warrants are issued for people who fail to show. My postal person lost my first notice & I received a nice note that stated if I didn't call a phone # within 5 days, a warrant would be issued for my arrest. I called & told them my story & I was re-scheduled for immediate jury duty. However our case was dropped quickly as it was settled out of court & they dismissed all the potential jurors. So I am good for another year! I think you really ought to go if you possibly can just to see how our justice system really works!

Be careful. The court has the right to ask for proof of any excuse that you give. When my husband asked to have his jury duty postponed, because he was undergoing chemotherapy treatments, he received a letter asking for a doctor's note to be sent to the court.

You got a Doctors written statement stating so then Yes.

Why are you looking for an excuse? Well, my teacher got off it,by saying that her boyfriend was a policeman

Nope, sounds like a crock to me. It just amazes me how many citizens want to get out of doing their civic duty. Suck it up and go.

It may work, but It may not work.

For heaven's sake, why would you need an excuse?
Just go and serve. I enjoyed it thoroughly - you might too.
But you'll never know until you try.

Just go serve, it is part of being a reasonable adult.
