Please advise your foreperson as soon as possible of your need to be excused from sessions so that the Court can adequately plan for your absence. Your foreperson will then refer your request to the Grand Jury Specialist for approval. Approval of requests to be excused from grand jury sessions will be based on the number of jurors present to transact business in your absence. Last-minute requests to be excused must be supported by written documentation of medical appointments, travel plans, etc. Please note that the court may provide proof of your attendance dates upon request from your employer.
