SAMPLE JURY EXCUSE LETTER

Dear Local Commissioner of Jurors:

I am writing to request an excuse from jury duty on the grounds that

such jury services would pose an undue hardship on me and an extreme
inconvenience to the patients of my dental practice. I am a sole
practitioner and have no other dentists in my office who can treat my
patients if I am not here. This disruption to the care of my patients is a
serious inconvenience to them and to their dental health. In addition, it
is an undue hardship on my livelihood to close my practice for an
extended period of time, since my practice depends on my being there
for my patients.

I hope that you will take into account the unique situation of a sole
practitioner dentist like myself, where jury service could substantially
impair my livelihood and the health and welfare of my patients, and see
fit to grant my request for an excuse from jury duty.

Very truly yours,
