I missed my jury duty date and they want a resonable explanation as to
why I should not be penalized for missing it. I just forgot about the
date but the clerk said that is not good enough. They are sending me a
letter in the mail and when i receive it i have to write back with a
valid reason. does any one know an excuse that should work? thanks for
the help!

So, you think someone should help you lie to the court? If your excuse will
be signed under penalty of perjury, then you have committed solicitation by
inviting us to join a conspiracy to commit perjury. Usenet is not the best
forum for planning crimes. I decline.

Well, I Beg To Differ with Asshole Court Clerk... "I Forgot", being no
more than Simple Negligence or Mistake, IS a Valid Reason for missing your
Jury Duty Date... PARTICULARLY in light of your Frantic Attempt to Right the
Wrong, which is, In And Of Itself, about as sure an Indicator as can be that
you Did Not Obstinately Refuse to Perform Your Jury Duty... which is The
ONLY Reason for which One Can Be Punished...
Feel Free & Confident to Inform The Court that Due To Your HECTIC
Personal & Employment Schedule, you Simply Forgot a Date which comes up Very
Rarely in the Life of The Average Citizen...
SHEESH... what an ASSHOLE Clerk/Jury Administrator... Send a Copy of your
Letter of Explanation DIRECTLY to the Presiding Judge of the Jurisdiction...
Do you live in FUCKING Nebraska by any chance?

Er. . .note that Martha Steward is going to jail because she lied under
not-too-dissimilar circumstances.
If she had told the truth, she would have been fined the equivalent of a
few day's legal fees.

The clerk's generally don't know nuthin or have any authority to say what is
and what is not acceptable.
You could always say that you did not get a notice to report for duty.
Who's to say you did unless you signed for the letter?

So you say, Bullis, and what do you know?

Lying Bullis offers lying as a legal option. No surprise here.

Bullis despises cops, prosecutors, agents of the court and government, yet
advises lawsuits and lying. "Pervbag". heh,heh,heh.

The jurisdiction most likely has a presumption that if it was sent, then it
was received. IOW, it doesn't have to prove you received the notice; you
have to prove you didn't.

The OP said he talked to the clerk, and said he forgot the appointment.
Can't retroactively not receive the summons.
Naughtius "I have to put something in the middle" Maximus has the soundest
advice.
Richard's advice is taken at your peril, as it is Bulli#@($

Different locales treat this differently.
Los Angeles has been coming down hard on jurors failing to report, to
the extent of levying $1,500 contempt-of-court fines.
Some other places (Houston, apparently) are accommodating and will
allow you to reschedule.
