re: How does someone get out of jury duty?

Does she know anyone who works in the DAs office?

A friend of mine did not want to have to miss multiple days of work. One of the first questions they asked was "is anyone a racist?". He raised his hand and he was excused.. So if she gets to that point where they question them, she can give an answer that will likely get her out of it.

Call the DAs office and ask them just like this "what is the protocol for applying for exemption from jury duty?". See what they say and if asked why she can't attend tell them "I have responsibilities that will not allow me to be able to attend jury duty" Try to avoid telling them "well I make double what my husband makes so I got to go to work, plus I drop & pick up my kids from school". That's not going to really be a good enough reason.

Coughing fit.

She should send them a response saying she doesn't want to be bothered with it. I mean almost rude. They will probably still make her report in, just to be assholes. When she is there generally act disinterested and if they do ask her a question ask them to repeat it because she wasn't listening. She might still be there a few hours, but the odds of either side wanting her on a jury will be slim.

It worked for me. I've been called once.

I must be doing something right. Only been summoned for jury duty once and easily got out of it.

Unless they sent it certified mail there is no way of them proving you got the summons.

. I used to think that would work because so many people have told me they have just tossed it in the trash. Until the last time I got a summons in the mail and went. They start reading off the names of the jury pool and about 15 people didn’t show. The judge called the deputy up to the bench and ordered everyone of them to be picked up.

I have been picked 4 times and selected 3 times. I found it interesting that one of the jurors on the last one appeared to be the least interested at the beginning and turned out to be one of the most interested at the end.

She should simply tell the court she can only be there between the time she drops the kids off and when they get home because she has no other people to look after her kids.

It would be an exceptionally mean court that made her stay on a jury.

They'd be idiots. If you make a good salary and she makes double, your household income is pretty fricking good.

I always just say I have a newborn at home that needs my care. Write a letter. Excused every time
