How to postpone Jury Duty due to emergency?

Posted at: 2015-05-24 
Call the jury commissioner first thing Monday morning. Sudden emergencies can't be scheduled.

Contact the court.

It's Saturday right now and I'm scheduled to come in for Jury Duty during the week of June 16 2014.

I was ready to do it with no problem but I just found out an ill relative only has a couple days left to live and I need to fly out of the state ASAP to see her.

I tried postponing via phone but whenever I press the button regarding the postponing option the automated system only goes into my record and tells me information I already know. I also can't talk to a staff member since they are not working on weekends.

The form I got in the mail does say any postponements need to be made within 5 business days of the scheduled week and "no postponement will be made on the date of service" but i just found out about this today.

Any ideas on what action I can take?
