A temporary illness (e.g., the flu); 2. A scheduled vacation that involves prepaid commitments, or cannot be otherwise conveniently rescheduled; 3. An important business demand of a nonrecurring nature that cannot be conveniently rescheduled; 4.

Child care responsibilities; A full-time student for whom jury service would jeopardize their academic program; 6.
