WI Stat § 756.03 (2021)
2021 Wisconsin Statutes & Annotations|Chapter 756 - Juries.|756.03 - Excuse; deferral.

756.03  Excuse; deferral. (1) Excuse. The court to which a person is summoned for jury service may excuse the person from jury service if the court determines that the person cannot fulfill the responsibilities of a juror. The court shall not consider any structural limitations of a facility when making that determination. (2)  Deferral. The court to which a person is summoned for jury service may, upon request of that person, defer to a later date set by the court the period in which the person must serve if the court determines that service as a juror would entail undue hardship, extreme inconvenience or serious obstruction or delay in the fair and impartial administration of justice. (3)  Clerk authorized to grant. The judge responsible for administering the jury system in the circuit court may authorize the clerk of circuit court to grant excuses or deferrals under this section. The authorization may limit the grounds on which the clerk of circuit court may grant the excuse or deferral and may require persons seeking an excuse or deferral to document the basis for any excuse or deferral.History:  Sup. Ct. Order No. 96-08, 207 Wis. 2d xv (1997).Judicial Council Note, 1996: This proposal, implementing ABA Standard 6, repeals the concept of exclusions and exemptions under prior s. 756.02. Instead, it allows judicial excuses for persons who clearly cannot fulfill the duties of a juror and deferrals for undue hardship. Periods of required availability for jury service are set forth in s. 756.28. [Re SCO No. 96-08 eff. 7-1-97]Excusing and deferring prospective jurors under this section is one component of a circuit judge's obligation to administer the jury system. The judge may delegate the authority to the clerk of circuit court under sub. (3). The task need not be by a judge in court or with the prospective juror present in person, and may take place in advance of a particular trial. A defendant's presence cannot be required when the judge or clerk is acting in an administrative capacity under this section. State v. Gribble, 2001 WI App 227, 248 Wis. 2d 409, 636 N.W.2d 488, 00-1821.

WI Stat § 756.28 (2021)
2021 Wisconsin Statutes & Annotations|Chapter 756 - Juries.|756.28 - Length of juror service; periods of required availability.

756.28  Length of juror service; periods of required availability. (1) One day or one trial. The judges in any circuit may establish a system in which a person summoned under s. 756.05 may not be required to serve or attend court for prospective service as a petit juror for more than one day in a specified period, unless more days are necessary to complete service in a particular case. The specified period may not be less than 2 nor more than 4 years. In circuits where judges have established such a system, a petit juror whose deliberation ends with a verdict may not be required to participate in a 2nd trial even though the juror may not have completed the first day of juror service at the time of commencement of the 2nd trial. (2)  General 4-year eligibility. In a county where a system has not been established under sub. (1), a person may be required to be available for service as a grand or petit juror only once in any 4-year period. The period for which any person may be required to be available for service may not exceed 31 consecutive days. No person may be required to serve, or attend court for prospective service, as a juror for a total of more than 5 days unless more days are necessary to complete service in a particular case.History:  1991 a. 271; Sup. Ct. Order No. 95-11, 206 Wis. 2d xiii (1996); Sup. Ct. Order No. 96-08, 207 Wis. 2d xv (1997).Judicial Council Note, 1996: Based on prior s. 756.28, this section implements ABA Standard 5. Subsection (1) is revised to allow greater flexibility than prior statutes with respect to the length of the period during which a juror who has served for one day/one trial cannot be summoned again.The amendment to sub. (2) is identical to a Supreme Court rulemaking petition heard October 11, 1995. The Judicial Council Note to the proposal reads as follows: Subsection (2) is revised, effective January 1, 1997, to specify that a person may only be required to be available for jury service once in any 4-year period. The maximum term of jury availability is reduced to 31 consecutive days, and the maximum number of days of actual court attendance is limited to five, unless more are necessary to complete a particular trial. This change is intended to implement the recommendations of the American Bar Association that such periods be as short as possible, consistent with the needs of justice.

Ct. Order No. 08-01, 2008 WI 104, 307 Wis. 2d xxxv.Judicial Council Note, 1996: Subsection (1) carries forward the penalty in prior s. 756.04(2)(b). Subsection (2) is based on prior s. 756.041, and carries the same penalty. Subsection (3) is based on prior s. 756.23. [Re SCO No. 96-08 eff. 7-1-97]
