Deferred from Jury Service
 
It is the obligation of all qualified citizens to serve as jurors when summoned as often as every two years. In Mecklenburg County, those who have a first-time request to defer their service, within six months of their current service date, may submit the request through the Interactive Voice Response system at 704-686-0195 up until 2 business days before their service date. All subsequent requests to be deferred must be submitted in writing, outlining the reasons for the request. The court will respond by mail to all requests for deferral either by denying the request or rescheduling the service date.

Full-time students are not exempt from service. If a deferral is desired, they should provide a date to which they may be rescheduled.
