I just received a jury qualification questionnaire for the US Disctrict Court... |
|
This is very surprising. I've never even been asked to serve on a jury even in a local court. This is for United States District Court in the Eastern district of TN.
I want to do this, but I can't. I'm going to school during the day and can't afford to miss any days at all. This is not a disqualifying factor according to the form. Having a child under the age of 10 is one. Nathan is 9 years old and he turns 10 on Friday.
There is a remarks section on the back of the form. All I can think of to do is to write it in and hope I don't get called.
Anyone have other advice?

You should serve if you can. But there is little chance they'd pull a full time student out of class to serve.

I just told them the truth about my freaky family.
I was out of there by 10 AM.
They didn't ask you if you could serve in Boston. The only two reasons for absence were hospitalization and death.
