I can tell you how I got out of jury duty, but I am not sure it will work in your case. I have a Service Dog, because I am Hearing Impaired. When I received the notice, I wrote back and said that my dog and I would be there. They immediately sent me a letter excusing me.
Actually, if I could have served, I would have. You might find it a good experience, and employers are not allowed to fire you for your jury duty absence.

1. Become a lawyer or police officer.
2. Have you own company that will go bust if you serve.
3. Ask your doctor to certify as insane.
4. Commit a crime and ensure that you are caught.
Any of these should mean all you have to do is notify the authorities that you are ineligible to serve on a jury.
That said, I really enjoyed the experience - especially the bit where the s.o.b got sent to jail!

As far as it goes here in Canada, the only way not to go is to be admitted in a hospital or sick at home with a doctors note. Besides, if you miss it (for a valid reason) they just stick you back on the list for another trial.

Why would you not want to do jury duty? Are you that lazy? Would you rather have a corrupt judge decide your case? You have no appreciation of the rights you have in your hands.

Easy - just leave the country and move somewhere that does not have jury trials.
Then hope you never get arrested for something.

Step in front of a bus. It gets you out of your civic duty, and will get you what you probably deserve for wanting to get out of that duty.
You're never allowed to complain about OJ or Phil Spector verdicts, by the way.

Personally, I think its a good thing to have done.
Most states allow you to defer a certain number of times.

Leave the country and renounce your citizenship. If you're not not willing to do you're duty, who needs you?
