Billiumss Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Hey guys, I got a notice in the mail that I have to attend Jury duty next month. I need to get out of it since I am going to be on my last course for my MCSA at Techskills and don't want to delay it any longer. I can get a letter from my school stating I am going to school "full time" but it might not work so need a back up plan. What are some legal ways to get out of it without looking like an idiot? I think it would be cool to do and be on a jury but the timing is all wrong for me right now. Help! Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurkvinny Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Tell them you are important enough where you work that the company would suffer greatly if you miss a week+ of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillJoy Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Tell them you are important enough where you work that the company would suffer greatly if you miss a week+ of work. My company has written me a letter to this effect (affect?) several times. :thumbup: KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent Orange Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 During college, I received at least one letter per year. Just tell them you are in school. You don't have to elaborate. I started to throw them out after three years. They didn't come certified mail, so screw 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAOLE Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Pay me $50 for a letter that says you cant sit for long periods of time. J/K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littleguy Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Just tell them that you can judge guilt or innosence just by looking at somebody. Being a little racist doesn't hurt either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tbutera2112 Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 if you lie and say stuff about being a bad candidate, they wont pick you...then you just get to sit in a little room with all the other people who didnt get picked...you still have to show up!! (according to my mom, who had to do this last year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I tried to get my work to do this for me but they won't, I have mine next month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagner Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I had jury duty not to long ago and was told it is almost impossible to get out of it in Franklin County. You might be able to delay it until you are done with your schooling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-O Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 tell them you can look at a person and tell if they are guilty or not lol or tell them you came down with the shits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I had Jury Duty two weeks ago and still couldn't get out of it. Here's the kicker.. I have 3 officers in my family, going to school and working. When I told them about each of these they just shrugged and said, "Okay? That's fine." I wasn't a full time student so that didn't help me, I wasn't working full time, so I got fucked, and they didn't care about my brother who's a cop. I sat two weeks with no assigned case.. and after everything was said and done I made $32. They don't pay for your parking, or lunches, but they will pay you $20 whopping dollars a day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Cranium Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Best I know you can do is delay it. As a teacher I had a choice of leaving my class for 2 weeks or delay till summer. A week after I was done a friend who is a trial lawyer was scheduled to start. Even he could not get out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderboy Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 I would just pull your dick out and play with it until they make you leave. I personally cant wait until the day I get my letter. Ive never gotten one and am eagerly waiting. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

excell Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 I had my office manager write a letter on my behalf stating how losing me for the service would be a hardship for the company (it would have been) and they let me out of it with no push-back.
