What if my jury service dates interfere with my work or vacation plans?
Due to "undue hardship or great inconvenience," the Jury Act authorizes courts to grant interim deferrals of duty. The qualification questionnaire and juror summons contain explicit instructions on how to ask your court for a postponement. The court's decision on whether or not to grant a deferral is a matter of discretion, and it cannot be reviewed or appealed to Congress or any other body.
