Request for Excusal/Deferral


You must first complete and submit your juror qualification questionnaire. Requests MUST be made in writing. Jurors may submit requests through eJuror on the Court's website or by mail, fax, or email. If you are asking to be excused for medical reasons, you will need to submit a signed statement from your doctor. If you are employed, the note must also address why your medical hardship permits you to work but not serve on a jury. Requests will not be considered without a completed juror qualification questionnaire. You are not excused or deferred unless you are notified by the Court.
