Potential for Excusal: Yes, you can potentially be excused from jury duty if you have pre-existing vacation plans. Courts typically understand that jurors have personal lives and commitments and may accommodate requests for excusal or postponement under reasonable circumstances.
You are disqualified from service if: You aren't a citizen of the United States. You'll need to provide your alien card identification number, visa status, or other pertinent information. You aren't a Massachusetts resident and you don't live in Massachusetts for more than 50% of the year.
