How to get excuse from Jury Duty in California?

Question

I was summoned in November 2006. I tried to postponed again but was denied (more than 12 months since first summon). What should i do? Whats a valid excuse? Full-time student??

Answer 1

u can just lie that u cant speak English..... hahaha  ok... for real, i have no idea.

Answer 2

Whatever excuse you use,the judge has already heard a million times.

If you are utilizing your right to vote and/or to drive,then this is the responsibility that comes with it.

Answer 3

Just serve you will learn something from it..

Answer 4

The only truthful excuse is shameful.

So either go or claim to be racist, sexist, ageist or any other fascist quirk you think suits you best.... I think I'd rather just do my duty.

If you are a full time student you wont be missing out on your pay and then you have a real excuse should your school work be affected. Aren't you curious to see the justice system at work? I'd actually find it very interesting.

Answer 5

Lie and say you're biased, discriminatory, or say you know the person.  Say you talked to them briefly before.  Make up a story beforehand, but make sure there aren't any loop holes.  They might ask the person if they met you, so watch out.  Say you have to go to a funeral, something.

Answer 6

there is no excuse. If you or your family would depend on a jury hope they don't try to escape it. Yes I served on one and yes I would do it again. You can learn a lot from it.

If you want to welch out, see if your teacher will write you an absentee note.
