Sample Letter for Employee Requesting Release from Jury Duty because of Financial Hardship Subject: Request for Release from Jury Duty due to Financial Hardship Dear [Supervisor's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to request your assistance in securing my release from jury duty, which I have been summoned for on [specific date(s)], due to significant financial hardship. I am currently facing circumstances that make it extremely difficult for me to serve as a juror without substantial financial consequences. First and foremost, I would like to express my understanding of the importance and duties associated with jury service. I believe in the fundamental role that jurors play in ensuring justice and upholding the legal system in our great state of Louisiana. However, the financial implications of serving on a jury at this time are profound and could potentially plunge me into a severe financial crisis. I would like to outline the specific reasons that prevent me from fulfilling my jury duty obligation: 1. Unavoidable expenses: My financial situation is currently burdened by several unavoidable expenses, including but not limited to utility bills, rent/mortgage payments, medical bills, and other necessary expenses to support my family. 2. Dependents: I am the sole breadwinner in my family, responsible for providing the financial support necessary to sustain my dependents. Any loss of income, including the absence from work to serve as a juror, would dramatically impact their well-being. 3. Limited savings: I do not possess a substantial emergency fund or savings account to rely upon during the period of jury duty. Inevitably, my absence from work will result in the exhaustion of my limited financial resources, leading to significant financial distress. I assure you that I take this request very seriously and understand the implications of seeking release from jury duty. Nevertheless, it is crucial for my family's financial stability and well-being that I continue to fulfill my work responsibilities without interruption. Under Louisiana law, I am aware of the potential option of a hardship exemption for jury duty, as indicated in the Jury Handbook (insert relevant section if available). I kindly request your support and intervention in facilitating the request for my release from jury duty on the grounds of financial hardship. My hope is that this will enable me to continue meeting my professional obligations while supporting my family during this challenging period. I have attached the necessary documentation to substantiate my financial hardship, including bank statements, bills, and any additional relevant documents for your reference. Thank you for your understanding and consideration. I am ready and willing to discuss further if needed. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Employee ID/Job Title] [Department/Division] [Contact Information] Alternate Louisiana Sample Letter for Employee Requesting Release from Jury Duty because of Financial Hardship, name: Subject: Release from Jury Duty Request — Financial Hardship Dear [Supervisor's Name], I hope this message finds you well. As you may already be aware, I have recently received a jury duty summons for the dates of [specific date(s)], and I am writing to respectfully request your assistance in obtaining a release from this obligation due to financial hardship. While I understand the importance of serving as a juror and supporting our legal system, I am currently facing significant financial limitations that prevent me from fulfilling this civic duty without severe consequences. I would like to outline the specific reasons that justify my request for release: 1. Overwhelming financial obligations: Presently, I am burdened with various financial obligations, including rent/mortgage payments, utilities, transportation costs, and other essential expenses. Fulfilling my jury duty responsibilities would require me to forgo my regular income, further exacerbating the financial strain my family and I are experiencing. 2. Dependents' well-being: As the primary provider for my dependents, any reduction in income resulting from jury service would have a detrimental impact on their overall well-being. It is crucial for me to continue earning the income necessary to maintain their stability and meet their basic needs. 3. Lack of financial reserves: Unfortunately, I do not possess sizeable savings or an emergency fund that would allow me to comfortably endure a prolonged period without work. Participating in jury duty would lead to a prolonged absence, depleting my limited financial resources and potentially jeopardizing our financial security. I assure you that I approach this request with utmost sincerity and respect. Recognizing the importance of jury service, I fully understand the gravity of seeking release due to financial hardship. However, the potential consequences associated with enduring financial distress far outweigh the benefits of fulfilling this civic obligation at this particular time. As per Louisiana guidelines (refer to appropriate legislation or jury duty guidelines), I believe I may qualify for a hardship exemption. I kindly ask for your support and assistance in advocating for my release from jury duty on the grounds of financial hardship. This would allow me to continue meeting and exceeding my professional commitments without jeopardizing the financial stability of my family. I have attached relevant financial documents, such as bank statements, bills, and any additional evidence, to substantiate my financial hardship claim. Please let me know if there is any further information required to support this request. Thank you for your understanding, consideration, and support in this matter. I remain available for any discussion or clarification, if needed. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Employee ID/Job Title] [Department/Division] [Contact Information]
