Sample Letter for Employee Requesting Release from Jury Duty because of Financial Hardship
Subject: Urgent Request for Release from Jury Duty — Financial Hardship [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Judge's Name] [Court Name] [Court Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Dear [Judge's Last Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to you as a dedicated employee who has recently received a summons to serve as a juror for an upcoming trial. While I understand the importance and civic duty associated with participating in jury duty, I regrettably find myself in a challenging financial situation that leaves me unable to fulfill this obligation at the moment. I would like to bring to your attention the significant financial hardship that serving on a jury would impose on me. As a diligent employee, I strive to meet my financial responsibilities, including supporting my family, paying bills, and fulfilling financial obligations such as rent/mortgage, utilities, and other necessary expenses. Given my current circumstances, I am unable to adequately meet these obligations if I am unable to work during the duration of the trial. I kindly request your understanding and consideration in releasing me from jury duty based on the grounds of financial hardship. To substantiate my claim, I have attached relevant financial documents, including recent pay stubs, bills, and a budget breakdown, illustrating my precarious financial situation. I truly believe that being excused from jury duty due to my financial hardship would be in the best interest of all parties involved. By granting this exemption, not only will I be able to remain financially stable and fulfill my obligations, but it will also allow me to continue contributing to the local economy by maintaining employment. I assure you that I am not attempting to evade my duty, but rather find myself in an unforeseen and temporary economic crisis. I am more than willing to participate in jury duty once my financial situation stabilizes, as I sincerely appreciate the importance of the judicial process. Thank you for taking the time to review my request. I trust that you will consider my circumstances and grant me the release from jury duty due to financial hardship. I am confident that your decision will be made in the interest of justice and fairness. If you require any additional information or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I truly appreciate your understanding and the opportunity to present my case. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
