Reasons for Excusal
By statute, jurors may be lawfully excused from Jury Service for a variety of reasons, listed below. Proper documentation and proof must be provided at least five (5) days before the service start date. Late requests may need to be reviewed by the assigned Judge. Deferrals are also offered by request.
Requests should be made via email to jury@franklincountymunicourt.org or by faxing (614) 645-0515. Confirmation will be sent within a physical mailed notice which may take up to three (3) weeks to arrive. If you have already completed the questionnaire through the Juror Web Portal, your excusal/deferral confirmation will be emailed instead.
