If you receive a summons for jury duty, you typically must appear in court. If you disobey this order, you may be subject to stiff fines or even jail time. However, the federal government and each state recognize legitimate reasons why you may be excused from jury duty because completing jury service would constitute a hardship for you. In this article, we’ll walk you step-by-step through how to write a jury excuse letter so you can send it to the judge and find out whether the court will excuse you from jury duty.

Writing a Professional Jury Excuse Letter

When writing a jury excuse letter, directly state why you cannot serve and how serving would lead to hardship. Valid exemptions include being ill or disabled, being the sole guardian of young children, or being over the age of 70. Include documentation such as a doctor’s note or a letter from an employer.

• Carefully note any dates on your summons, including the dates you’ve been called to jury duty. You will have to include these dates in your jury excuse letter and may need to provide them to anyone whom you need to write a letter on your behalf as documentation.
• For example, if you cannot appear for work-related reasons, you may need a letter from your boss that tells the court why you cannot be spared from work on those days.

• Being employed as a public official, police officer, or firefighter (for federal court) [3] X Research source
• Serving active duty in the armed forces
• Being over the age of 70 or 80
• Having medical issues or disabilities
• Employment conflict or financial hardship
• Being a breastfeeding mother or having active care and custody of young children, elderly, or disabled family members
• Being a full-time high school or college student
• Some excuses allow you to be excused from jury duty, while others only allow you to have your service deferred for a specific time. Make sure you know whether you're eligible for a complete excuse or a deferral so you ask for the right thing.
• Many states, like Massachusetts, have strict legal requirements regarding disqualification from jury duty for medical reasons. If you plan on claiming a medical excuse, read these requirements carefully and talk to your doctor before writing your letter. [4] X Trustworthy Source State of Massachusetts Official website for the State of Massachusetts Go to source
• Many of these exemptions apply to jury duty in both the United States and the UK. [5] X Trustworthy Source Official UK government website Official website for the public sector of the UK government Go to source

• For example, the state of Texas allows you to postpone jury service at least once, but you must send a letter with your reasons for being excused at least two weeks before the date you’re scheduled to serve. [7] X Research source
• In the UK, you must respond to the summons within 7 days of receiving it or risk being fined up to £1,000. Contact the Jury Central Summoning Bureau for any questions. [8] X Trustworthy Source Official UK government website Official website for the public sector of the UK government Go to source

• If you’re asking to be excused from jury duty because it would present financial hardship, gather documents that prove the state of your finances or the fact that your income is necessary to care for dependents. [10] X Research source
• If you’re claiming a work-related reason, talk to your supervisor or manager about writing a letter for you to include with your own letter describing the need for you to be at work on the dates you’ve been summoned.
• You may also need to provide similar documentation as proof in the UK. [11] X Trustworthy Source Official UK government website Official website for the public sector of the UK government Go to source

Drafting Your Jury Excuse Letter

• For example, if you are summoned to serve on a jury in New Jersey, the court includes a questionnaire that you must complete and return. On that questionnaire, you can indicate if you are not qualified to serve on a jury or if you want your service dates to be postponed.
• In some jurisdictions, these forms must be completed and sent within a certain period of time after you receive your summons, regardless of whether you are asking to be excused from service. [13] X Research source
• In the UK, you can either respond to your summons online at gov.uk, or complete and return the form by mail. [14] X Trustworthy Source Official UK government website Official website for the public sector of the UK government Go to source

• For a judge, the proper salutation should be “Dear Honorable Judge (Full Name)”. For example, Dear Honorable Judge Katherine Smith. Use the full name as provided for the clerk.

• For example, write something like “My name is Jane Doe. On (date), I received a jury summons for (court date) at (court address) and was assigned the juror number (insert number here). I am writing to request to be excused from jury service because being absent from work would pose an extreme financial hardship.”

• If the court accepts work-related excuses, explain the necessity for you to be at work or the hardship that would occur if you were to miss work. [19] X Research source For example, you may work at a small business that would have to close for the day if you weren't there to run the shop. You could say something like “I currently run a small business as the sole employee. If I were to serve on the jury, I would have to close my shop, which would drastically affect my income. My household consists of (number of residents) and our monthly income is (total income), of which (individual income) is from my business. Our monthly expenses average (total expenses).”
• If you're requesting to be excused from jury duty because you must care for a child, consider including reasons you are unable to find appropriate child care under the circumstances.
• Keep in mind that, in some jurisdictions, you are limited to one reason for your excuse. For example, in California, your excuse is denied if you indicate more than one reason why you are disqualified from jury service. For this reason, rather than piling on multiple reasons, pick the one for which you have the strongest documentation.

• For example, many courts will excuse breastfeeding mothers from jury duty. [21] X Research source In that case, you may be willing to serve if your duty is postponed until a date in the future when your child is no longer breastfeeding.
• Say something like “As I am a breastfeeding mother, I am more than willing to serve on the jury once my child is no longer breastfeeding. This should be in about 3 more months.”
• If you cannot serve at another time because of a permanent disability, for example, try something like “Because my disability is permanent and affects my ability to get around, I am requesting to be permanently excused from jury duty.”
• In the UK, you’ll need to suggest 3 possible dates in the next 12 months that you could serve on the jury. You may only be excused completely if you have a serious illness or disability, are the full-time caretaker of someone with a serious illness or disability, or if you are a new parent. [22] X Trustworthy Source Official UK government website Official website for the public sector of the UK government Go to source

• Say something like “If possible, I’d prefer to receive a phone call when you reach your decision. You can contact me at (phone number). Thank you for your consideration.”

• It may help to read your letter aloud or have someone else read over it to see if they can catch any typos you may have overlooked.

Submitting Your Jury Excuse Letter

• For example, if you will be out of town on the date you were summoned for jury duty, and you've already made reservations or purchased plane tickets, copies of these reservations and/or tickets would provide proof of your excuse. [28] X Research source

• If you're unsure whether the court will receive your letter by the deadline if you use regular mail, use priority two-day or next-day mailing services.
• Make copies of everything you send to the court before you mail it, so you have them for your records.

• Keep in mind that courts typically consider each request on a case-by-case basis, and they have the discretion to grant or deny your request. Just because someone else has been excused from jury duty for the same reason you've provided doesn't mean your request to be excused will be granted. [31] X Research source

• In the UK, you can appeal the decision by writing to the Jury Central Summoning Bureau. Include your full name, address, date of birth, and juror number. Note the name and address of the court you’ve been summoned to, as well as the dates of your jury service. Explain why you disagree with the decision and provide as much evidence as possible. [33] X Trustworthy Source Official UK government website Official website for the public sector of the UK government Go to source

Expert Q&A

• Employers are forbidden by law from firing you or taking disciplinary action against you for reporting to jury duty, so it isn't a valid excuse to claim you're afraid you'll lose your job if you serve on a jury. [34] X Research source Thanks Helpful 0 Not Helpful 0

• If you are physically unable to appear in court due to disability/disabilities, make sure to include that information in your letter requesting to be excused. Include the limits this disability creates. For example, "I cannot walk more than 30 feet and am unable to sit/use a wheelchair. Except to use the bathroom, I am mostly bedridden at home."

Requesting a postponement or permanent excuse.

Requesting a Postponement of Jury Service

Select one of the options below that best describes your situation and follow the instructions. 

Employment and Financial Hardships

Please note that the court does not have a provision that allows prospective jurors to opt out of serving permanently due to employment and/or financial hardships.  You may request a postponement to serve at a later time that works better for you (typically up to six months out), however, if you say that you can never serve, your request to be permanently excused will not be granted.  In other words, we are willing to work with you by offering another date that will enable you to serve. 

We understand that time away from work can can create severe undue hardship.  If at anytime you are required to report for jury service, you'll be given the opportunity to explain your individual circumstances to the judge during the jury selection.  The judge will carefully consider your hardship when choosing who's going to serve as a jury on the trial.  If you aren't chosen as a juror, you'll only be required to report that one day during your term.

Voluntary Permanent Excuses

Upon written request, you may be permanently excused if you fall under any of the following categories:

Disqualifications from Serving

You may be disqualified or exempt from serving if you fall into any of the following categories.  If you are summoned and think you might not be eligible to serve, please contact the court immediately.

United States District Court  for the   District of Massachusetts

• Persons who are essential to the full time care of aged or infirmed persons in their custody. You MUST provide a specific physicians letter stating that you are the full time care giver of a person in a custody.

If you are requesting to be excused or postponed due to extreme hardship that is not listed on the questionnaire, you may send an e-mail to the jury department explaining the hardship. All hardships are reviewed by the court on a case by case basis. If requesting to be excused or postponed due to a medical condition, you must submit a letter on letterhead from your doctor. You or the physician may email the document(s) , fax the documents, or send by mail to the address located on the front of the summons.

• Reasons for Being Excused from Jury Duty in North Carolina

Serving jury duty is a civic duty, but it's not always feasible. Work, childcare, illnesses and other duties can get in the way of serving. Courts might summon you, but they do understand that people have busy lives. They can't always get to the courthouse and serve indefinitely if selected.

An excuse letter can sometimes help you legally get out of this duty if you have a legitimate reason not to attend.

Check Your State and Federal Exemptions

Simply not wanting to be on a jury isn't a legal excuse for dodging the duty. You must have a reason that the court will accept.

Check which court sent your summons. It might be federal, state, or county. Then check the corresponding laws for a list of legitimate jury excuses. For example, you might be excused from federal court jury duty if you're an active military member or employed as a police officer, firefighter or public official. Exemptions for state courts vary, but some of the more common include medical, financial and family issues.

Finding Guidelines for Acceptable Reasons Not to Attend

You might claim financial hardship as a reason not to attend if you're the only worker in your household and missing work would dock your pay. If you care for children or sick family members at home, you can tell the court that you have no other means for caring for these people. If you have a mental or physical disability that keeps you from performing any part of a juror's duty, or if you don't live in the court's jurisdiction, you can write an excuse letter. Some courts will allow you to at least postpone jury duty if you have a previously scheduled trip away from the area, but this simply kicks the can down the road.

Call the number on your summons for the most accurate and detailed information on the court's accepted excuses. The court clerk might be able to save you some time by telling you if your excuse is valid and where to submit your letter.

Where to Find Jury Duty Excuse Forms or Letters

Some states include excuse forms with their jury summonses. Start here if yours has such a form or a link for an online version. There's usually no reason to submit an additional letter when you complete this form, but you must write a letter yourself if you don't live in a state that provides these forms.

Every jury excuse request is considered on an individual basis, but some general guidelines apply. Start by including the date, your mailing return address and your juror number. Your letter can be informal, but it should begin with a declaration of your inability to serve as a juror. For example, you can say something as simple as, "I am requesting deferral/excusal from jury service." Read More: How to Write Request Letters for Jury Duty

Explain Your Excuse

Detail your reasons for requesting an excuse from jury duty. Include reasons why you can't serve. If it's your workplace’s policy that your employer won't pay for days lost due to jury duty, you can cite this and explain that serving will cause you financial hardship. Back up your excuse with documentation, such as a statement from your employer or a copied excerpt from your employee handbook.

Be sure to suggest a new date that's more workable for you if you're requesting that your jury service be delayed.

Hope for the Best

Proofread your letter and make a copy for your own records. Mail or fax it to your court. Wait to hear back from the court on its decision as to whether officially release you from jury duty. Follow up with a phone call if the jury administrator doesn't reply within a reasonable period of time.

No response is a good response in some states – the clerk of the court will only respond if your request has been denied. But don't just assume that you're off the hook if you hear nothing.

Best Way to Write a Jury Duty Excuse Letter

Each state has its own guidelines regarding what is a legitimate excuse for jury duty. Federal courts have different guidelines for exemption than state courts. Given these facts, the best way to be excused from jury duty starts with reading the jury service notice you received.

Look for any acceptable exemptions listed on the notice of service. The instructions may be to write a letter to the court explaining how you qualify for one of its exemptions. Some courts may require that their own legal form be completed.

Exemption from Federal Court Cases

Federal court exemptions from jury duty are:

1) Those in active duty in the armed forces 2) People employed as police officers or firefighters 3) Public officials

Exemption from State Court Cases

Keep in mind that each state court has its own unique qualifications for exemption from jury duty. These are just some common examples.

1) Breastfeeding mothers 2) People over a certain age such as 70 or 80 3) Medical issues 4) Work-related issues 6) Financial issues 7) Family issues

Best Way to Write a Professional Letter to a Judge

Writing the Jury Duty Excuse Letter

Remember that a request to be excused from jury duty is up to the courts. Your request may be approved or denied. Each request is considered on a case-by-case basis. The courts will notify you by mail or by telephone regarding its decision.

If your request is work-related, explain how jury duty will disrupt the workplace. Perhaps you are employed by a small business or are self-employed.

If you are the sole caretaker of a seriously or chronically ill relative and can provide proof from a doctor, your request to be excused from jury duty may be honored.

Jury duty often does not pay as much as a person earns at their job. If serving on a jury will put you or your family in financial risk, explain this to the courts in detail.

If you have your own medical condition that requires treatment throughout the day using equipment that cannot be taken to court, your request to be excused may be approved. Your doctor will need to provide documentation to support your claim.

In summary, the best way to write a jury excuse letter is to detail how you would suffer hardship related to jury duty and to relate the hardship to one of the exemptions.

Travel Hardship Transfer

Families of high school students may request a school transfer if the students commute from home to school is at least 75 minutes or is otherwise inaccessible by public transportation (defined as more than three transfers, and/or more than three modes of transportation).

Compare train and bus time on http://tripplanner.mta.info to determine travel time. In some cases, bus time is less than train time and a travel transfer will be either granted or denied based on the travel time regardless of the method of travel.

To request a transfer due to travel hardship families should get two documents, showing proof of address .

Next, the family should visit a Family Welcome Center or Back to School Locations  to request the transfer and discuss available options. Be aware, transfers are not guaranteed and are subject to available seats

I have been struggling to find employment for the last few years due to {layoffs, disability, taking care of child.} I have recently been hired at in a stable position. If it works out I will be able to {pay my mortgage, pay off debt, etc.} but if not I may lose my car or even my house.

My new employers have stated unequivocally that I am required to be at work on that day, as I am the only person qualified to perform {duties.} They will not pay me my wages if I am at jury duty, and as I mentioned before, I am already on the brink of bankruptcy. I am working hard to rebuild my life, but my situation is still tenuous at this point.

I am attaching financial stubs, bank statements and an affidavit from my employer for your review.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Please contact me at your earliest convenience.

Will the Courts Accept a Jury Duty Excuse Letter If You’re in a Pinch?

Sometimes, you or your employees’ personal responsibilities conflict with your business. For many small businesses, if you miss work or lose an employee for an extended period of time, there can be harmful effects on productivity in the workplace .

But if you or an employee are called in for jury duty, you might not have a choice when it comes to missed work. However, the courts do make some exceptions for very special situations. Learn about reasons the court might allow you to get out of jury duty and what information to include in a jury duty excuse letter.

About jury duty

Jury duty is when an individual is summoned to serve on a jury in either a federal or state or local court case. The court selects individuals to complete questionnaires to learn more about their qualifications. From there, individuals are randomly chosen for cases.

To qualify for jury duty service, an individual must be a U.S. citizen, be at least 18 years old, reside in the judicial district for one year, and understand English. Other qualifications include having never been convicted of a felony and having no disqualifying mental or physical condition.

According to National Public Radio , 32 million citizens are summoned each year for jury duty—however, only around eight million report for jury duty.

Individuals attempt to get out of jury duty for a variety of reasons, but the courts only accept some requests.

Reasons to write a jury duty excuse letter

Generally, the court makes its decision on a case-by-case basis, so there isn’t a standard letter to get out of jury duty. And, federal and state courts have different rules for accepting a getting out of jury duty letter. If you have a special circumstance that makes serving jury duty difficult at the time of the request, you must be honest when appealing to the court.

Before writing a letter to be excused from jury duty, understand some of these general reasons the courts may excuse you or your employees.

Federal courts

According to the United States Courts , the following groups might be excused from jury duty service:

• People over 70 years old
• People who have served on a federal jury within the past two years
• People who serve as volunteer firefighters or members of a rescue squad or ambulance crew
• People experiencing “undue hardship or extreme inconvenience”

If you fall under any of these categories, you can write a letter to the clerk of court. If you claim that you are experiencing undue hardship or extreme inconvenience, you need to explain what it is. For example, if serving jury duty would result in financial hardship, detail it in your letter.

In addition, federal courts do not allow members of the armed forces who are on active duty, members of fire and police departments, and public officers of federal, state, or local governments to serve on juries.

State or local courts

Like federal jury duty, state and local jury duty excuses vary. And, each court also has different rules. Generally, you should detail financial, medical, work-related, and family issues if these will hinder your jury duty services.

Let’s take a look at Ohio jury duty laws . If you are called to serve on a jury in Ohio, you can be excused if your attendance will materially injure the public, a relative is dangerously ill or has recently died, you are a cloistered member of a religious organization, you would experience extreme physical or financial hardship, you are over 75 years old, or if you are a member of a recognized Amish sect.

You will need to check with your state to learn more about reasons why jurors may be excused.

Jury duty excuse letter from employer

You can write a letter to excuse an employee from jury duty if absolutely necessary. If you send a jury duty work excuse letter to the court on behalf of an employee, you need to explain how the employee’s absence would significantly affect your business and even lead to negative cash flow .

For some businesses, a jury duty summons simply comes at the wrong time. If you are in your busy season at work, you can’t afford to lose any of the hands on deck. If one of your employees receives a jury duty summons, you could write a jury duty letter from employer to the courts and explain that you are in your peak season. Then, you could ask that their jury duty responsibility be postponed until your busy season is over.

Keep in mind that writing a jury duty excuse letter does not guarantee your employee will get out of jury duty. It simply brings the problem to the court’s attention and asks that service be deferred.

Sample letter requesting excuse from jury duty

When writing your or your employee’s jury duty excuse letter, you must include basic information like the juror number, date, and your mailing address. You also need to include the clerk’s information.

Include detailed information about why you or your employee needs to be excused from serving jury duty.

Let’s say you received a jury duty summons. You do not have employees, and you would need to shut down your seasonal small business to serve. This would result in financial hardship, a setback in productivity, and an inconvenience to your customers. Your small business is closed during the winter, so you want to ask for a deferral until then. When writing your letter, describe in detail why you need a deferral and provide information about your business.

Jury duty leave

If one of your employees serves jury duty, you must give them time off. You cannot punish an employee serving jury duty by terminating or mistreating them in any way.

However, you might be wondering whether you are required to pay employees when they are away serving jury duty.

Under the Fair Labor Standards Act ( FLSA ), you are not required to pay employees serving jury duty. But, some states require that you give employees their regular wages while they are serving. Check with your state for more information.

Most courts provide some sort of compensation to individuals serving jury duty. However, many states have laws that do not require payment until the individual has served a certain amount of days.

If you are not required to pay employees while they are away on jury duty leave, you could decide to give employees paid jury duty leave as a benefit.
