Thanks, I hope to get answers from you.

· If you are not available on the date indicated, you may ask for a postponement. (See 2. How do I postpone jury duty?)
· Tell your employer about your jury service date. If you work full time, your employer must pay your regular wages for the first five days of jury service.
· You will receive a reminder notice in the mail about one week before your jury service date. It will contain parking information, directions to the courthouse, a copy of "Your Guide to Jury Service," and any special instructions.
· If you have a disability and you will need assistance or accommodation to serve on a jury, please call 1-800-842-8175 (TDD: 1-800-708-6794) or send a letter to Jury Administration, P.O. Box 260448, Hartford, CT 06126-0448 so that reasonable accommodations can be made. The Judicial Branch complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Please contact me again if you have any questions.

You need to comply with the jury summons and follow the instructions on it. Usually, on the summons, there will be instructions about how to comply and who to call if you cannot comply for a number of reasons: health, disability, work, vacation. Usually, if it is a work reason, they may work with you to reschedule. If there is a disqualifying medical or other disability, you will usually be excused with the presentement of proper certification or doctor's letter/note. Sometimes, you may still be required to go to the court to be excused by the judge. ----The process that you will follow will vary from court to court, and may also vary based on the size of court and the structure of the court for dealing with the processing of potential jurors.
