Subject: Request for Release from Jury Duty Due to Financial Hardship Dear [Employer's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally request your support in being excused from jury duty, as serving on a jury at this time would present severe financial hardship for me and my family. As you may already be aware, jury duty may require me to serve for an extended period of time, which would result in a significant loss of income. Given my current financial situation, this loss would be extremely burdensome and may have long-lasting consequences on my ability to meet my basic needs and financial obligations, such as rent, utilities, and daily living expenses. California's law recognizes that financial hardship is a valid reason to be excused from jury duty. Pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure, Section 210.5(a), an employer may provide a letter stating that an employee's absence due to jury duty would result in significant financial hardship. I kindly request that you write a letter on company letterhead addressed to the appropriate court, requesting my release from jury duty due to financial hardship. The letter should include the following key points: 1. Begin the letter with a proper salutation and a reference to my full name and employee information. 2. Explain that I am a valued employee of [Company Name] and provide a brief overview of my job responsibilities, highlighting the importance of my role within the company. 3. Clearly state that my absence from work would result in significant financial hardship, explaining the specific reasons why jury duty would create such hardships. 4. Emphasize that my financial hardship would not only affect me but also adversely impact my ability to support my family and fulfill my financial obligations. 5. Request the court's consideration of my circumstances and support my request for release from jury duty on the grounds of financial hardship. 6. Express gratitude for your willingness to support my request and provide contact information should the court require verification or additional information. It is important to note that each court may have slightly different requirements for the content and format of such letters. It is advisable to consult with the court where the jury duty summons was issued to determine if any specific information or documentation is necessary. Please let me know if you require any additional information or if there are any specific details you would like me to include in the letter. I greatly appreciate your understanding, assistance, and support during this challenging time. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Employee ID/Number] [Your Contact Information]
