May a person defer jury service to a later date?
Each county may establish conditions for deferral of jury service. The deferral shall be for a reasonable time, after which the prospective juror must be available for service. Examples of deferral conditions include: temporary health problems, vacation plans, employment conflicts, prescheduled medical appointments, and time needed to arrange for child care. Candidates for elected office may also request deferral during a campaign. To verify deferral conditions, consult the court or jury administration office in your county of residence.
