11.0 HEARING AND SUBMISSION OF MOTIONS If the motion requires consideration of facts not appearing of record, the movant shall serve and file copies of all affidavits, depositions, photographs or documentary evidence which the movant desires to submit in support of the motion.
During voir dire, a judge (sometimes the parties as well) asks potential jurors questions in order to screen them for bias be- fore picking a jury. Even after a jury trial, a judge may order a new trial if a party proves a juror lied during voir dire and hid something that would have kept him or her off the jury.
Upon approval of the court, the following persons may be excused from jury service: members of cloistered religious organizations. a person whose mental or physical condition renders them incapable of performing jury service. a person whose spouse or near relative has recently died or is seriously ill.
You are required to provide documentation from a physician verifying that a mental or physical condition renders you unfit for jury service for the remainder of the jury year. Jury service would otherwise cause undue or extreme physical or financial hardship to you or a person under your care or supervision.
Reasons for Being Excused from Jury Service Medical reasons. Public necessity. Undue hardship. Dependent care. Student Status. Military conflict. Other reason deemed sufficient by the court.
Lying about Jury Service Excuse Lying to the court is a crime. It's easy to believe that telling a little lie to get out of jury duty is no big deal. However, if you're caught, the government can prosecute you for perjury. In some instances, committing perjury results in a felony conviction.
A person whose spouse or near relative has recently died or is seriously ill. a person whose jury service would cause them or someone in their care extreme physical or financial hardship, or who would be harmed or would harm the public by serving on a jury. a person who is older than 75 years of age.
When writing a jury excuse letter, directly state why you cannot serve and how serving would lead to hardship. Valid exemptions include being ill or disabled, being the sole guardian of young children, or being over the age of 70. Include documentation such as a doctor's note or a letter from an employer.
