How do I go about getting excused from jury duty?

If a juror has received a summons and is requesting to be excused from serving, that juror must write a detailed letter to the Jury Coordinator and advise of the reason why they are not able to report. That request is then given to the Judge, who determines whether or not that juror should be excused. Once the Jury Coordinator receives the request back from the Judge, the Jury Coordinator will contact that juror to advise if they have been excused or not.
