What happens if I don't report for jury duty? Failure to appear is a misdemeanor pursuant to RCW 2.36. 170. If you do not report on your scheduled date, you will receive a notice indicating you have failed to appear and that it is a misdemeanor and you may be held in contempt of court.
By law, the courts will excuse from jury duty anyone with a mental or physical condition that would keep them from serving as a juror. There is not an exemption based on age, but you may request to be excused if you have a hardship that would make it difficult to serve.
Drafting Your Jury Excuse Letter Search for any court-provided forms. Format your letter as a business letter. Address the letter to the name indicated on your summons. State your name, juror number, court date, and address. Explain the reason for your request. Ask to be excused from jury duty.
