Question: Can I be excused?

Answer:

The court may excuse people in the following circumstances:
• Those people with a mental or physical condition that causes them to be incapable of performing jury service.
• Anyone whose jury service would affect the public interest or welfare in an adverse manner.
• Anyone who would experience undue or extreme physical or financial hardship, or who has someone under his or her care or supervision who would experience extreme physical or financial hardship.
• Good cause upon a showing of undue or extreme hardship including being temporarily out of the jurisdiction or not having transportation.

The judge may also excuse people in other special circumstances. But excuses are not automatic – if you request to be excused, you must provide the court with documentation that supports your request (ARS §21-202).
