[quote=Anonymous]When I was called, there were a bunch of us in the courtroom. The clerk separated out the people who stated that it would be a hardship to participate, then took us one-by-one into a side room to talk to us about why. Those who were let off (including me, my explanation was that I pick my kids up each day at 3:30, and there is no one else to do it) were sent to the petit jury room and put in that pool for the day. I didn't even get called for a panel, was released by 3:00. HOWEVER, I have a friend who was called for petit jury and got a pretty serious case that lasted for WEEKS. She has little kids and is self-employed, so it was a huge financial hardship, but the judge would not release her. So, in my case it worked out, but just be aware if you tell them you can't do grand jury, you may still get called for a petit trial, and there is no telling how long that will last. Good luck![/quote]
