Ask a Travel Nurse: What Do I Do If I Am Called For Jury Duty While On Contract?

Gypsy,
What do I do if I am called for Jury Duty while on contract?

The best approach to jury duty, when you are unable to attend due to a contracted obligation is to contact the court with a copy of your contract and ask to be excused.

Here is a sample letter:
To:
Office of the Jury Commissioner
Address
City, State Zip Code
Telephone Number

From: John Doe, # (Jury ID)
5747 West Elm St.
City, State Zip Code

Subject: Permission to be excused from Jury Duty

Date:

I am writing this letter to respectfully request to be excused from jury duty with your courts due to current contractual obligations.

As evidenced by the attached contract with _______________ (name of Employing Agency). I am currently out of the state and contracted as a Travel Nurse at ___________ from ______ to ________.

I can be reached at (000) 000-0000 if you have any questions or require further documentation.

Thank you for your time and consideration with this matter.
Sincerely,
Your Name
