I apologize for the last-minute notice. I am available to serve at the court’s earliest convenience after this emergency resolves.
Jury Clerk – [Court Name]
Courts are human-run systems. If you have real proof and communicate respectfully, most will grant a last-minute postponement. If you lie or ignore it, you risk fines or a warrant. Act now, act honestly, and you’ll be fine.
I respectfully request an emergency postponement to any date after May 1, 2025. Attached is a letter from the attending physician and hospital admission record.
Dear Jury Clerk,
I am scheduled to report for jury duty on April 15, 2025, at 8:30 AM. Last night at 10 PM, my child was admitted to General Hospital with a severe asthma attack requiring overnight observation. I am the only caregiver.
