Jury service is a responsibility for which, by law, most adults are liable.
People who serve as jurors make a vital contribution to the administration of justice in Scotland. If you have personal or business commitments, or if you have already entered into holiday arrangements which would cause abnormal inconvenience, difficulty or expense to cancel, the court will consider a request for excusal. However if, exceptionally, your request is granted, it is likely that a further jury citation will be sent out to you at a later date. Requests for excusal can only be made personally ie they cannot be made on your behalf by relatives, colleagues, or employers etc and should be made in writing. If you suffer from any medical condition or ailment which may make it difficult or impossible for you to perform service as a juror adequately e.g. if you are very hard of hearing, or if you have very poor eyesight, you should contact the court immediately.
