Few among us are excited to see an envelope in the mail that reads “summons.” Since the jury summons process is designed to be as random as possible, you never know when that dreaded letter may arrive in the mail. Luckily, you might not need to rearrange your schedule just yet. There are practical tools at your disposal to get out of jury duty.
If you couldn’t already guess, this guide isn’t going to dwell on the nuances of civic duty. Let’s assume you’re an upstanding citizen who has a very noble reason for getting out of your jury summons. Plus, the consequences for lying to evade jury duty can result in serious fines or even criminal contempt charges, with jail time as a possibility. With that out of the way, here are all the legal ways you can avoid jury duty.

My service begins on Monday. I have to call in or check on line to see if I have to go in for the entire week. I have a feeling I will be called in. There have simply been too many coincidental "Jury Duty" themed moments for me online such as this video and threads on message boards that have popped up. If called in I will try to reschedule for December. Going to downtown LA is a pain in the ass. I hope they let me change venue as well. Fingers crossed.

#2 all day! Wait for them to actually schedule you though. This will eliminate the need for proof. I went in today, and asked for a hardship form. From there put any nonsense on that form that suggests you are in a dire financial situation. They are very busy on selection days, and are not going to research this information. I was dismissed after 20 minutes!

If you’re in the military, your First Sergeant and Commander do have the ability to get you out of jury duty. They won’t always do it. My First Sgt was an a** hole. He wouldn’t do that for anybody.

@@Fireglo Not. From my point of view j.d. adds a justice factor. Here in many countries you have no idea how corrupted the system is. It's not uncommon to kill people by driving drunk and end up only with probation because judge was given a bribe or was a friend of yours, but if you are not rich enough and don't have "connection", hungry poor elderly who stole bread can end up years in prison. Total cesspit.

Tell the Judge or court clerk that you know the defendant. Say s/he is your worst enemy and you already know he’s guilty! That will make it an unfair trial. You will probably be dismissed from jury duty. Or just the opposite, say the defendant is your best friend. You already know they’re not guilty.

Never understood this. Why would you let dumb amateurs from the street decide the fate of another person‘s life?! I mean, judges are judges precisely because they are deemed competent enough to decide something like that. They got their degrees and years of experience. And yet you americans let random strangers decide? Lmao. Great logic there.
@gejugfeguug5623
@gejugfeguug5623 Год назад
Well first off, jury duty requires everyone to be screened by lawyers first for selection to weed out bad candidates. Also not everyone off the street is a dumb amateur. Depends what street your on. And lastly, yes, id rather trust the decision of a panel of citizens who have no stake in the system versus a judge who is a lot more prone to corruption and greed. Do you really believe most judges are trustworthy but random people arent? Do you understand nothing about what power does to the human mind? Think.

Ask one question to the courts when u go through the interview type of process, and its guaranteed youll be excused. "How do the courts feel about Jury Nullification verdicts?"
