Hello Everyone - I got the summons to be a juror in Queens County again. I got a medical exemption the first time because I was sick. True story. Got a doctor's note and everything. I need to postpone again (I have a huge work project i'm finishing up and this couldn't have come at a worse time), though. I can't do it on the website cause i already postponed once, so is it worth calling? or do I need to just send in my summons? Anyone have any luck postponing twice?

Truth be told i'm perfectly happy performing my civic duty...

No, one postponement is all you get unless you are in intensive care. They will not care about work assignments.

I was able to postpone twice - once was because I had a final and the second was because my daughter was a newborn. Apparently when you have a kid they can take you off the list for 4-5 years if you're the primary caregiver or something like that? Worked for me.

tell them you don't believe in laws and that you feel disputes are better handled through a tribal council in front of a bond fire while wearing togas

They should only send jury duty to retirees.

I postponed once in Brooklyn by mail. When I got called again, I went in and sat in a room for an hour or two playing with my phone while they called other people. Then they gave me a slip of paper and told me I was done and good for at least five years. I've heard the first postponement is easy, the second one very difficult.
