ACM Reason For Excuse From Jury Duty?

[Guest guest]

Hi Ann

I don't know if Chiari can get you out of jury duty or not; but I can tell

you how --I-- got out of it in NJ. I don't have Chiari, my 4 year old nephew

does. However I have Neurofibromia. The funny thing is I actually wanted to

serve when this happened! When I sent back the form I told the Court I'd like

to serve but I needed certain accomadations made. Among them were, needed to

be in an air-condtioned Court room; needed to be near an elevator, needed a

cushioned (seat and back) chair; needed to be able to walk around every so

often; that I needed to be able to drink somethin when I was thirsty. I think

we listed 6 things. I asked my doctor to write a letter requesting due to my

medical condition the accomations be made. Needless to say, the Courts did

NOT want to make them so they told me I didn't have to serve. In my case, I

was annoyed because I wanted to serve; but my family and friends told me not

to push it. My point is, ask your doctor to write a note, then list all kinds

of accomendations. Chances are they aren't going to want a trail disrupted by

someone walking around, drinking etc.
