Jury Duty Navigator

🔵 Stable🕐 updated 2026-08-21 🔷 SkillSpec L3 pm-civic

Handle a jury summons calmly — confirm it's real, understand what's actually required, request a deferral or excusal the right way if you genuinely need one, arrange work and pay, and know what to expect at selection and on the day. Use when someone says I got a jury summons, can I get out of jury duty, how do I defer jury service, or what happens at jury duty. Produces a response plan, a deferral/excusal request if warranted, and a what-to-expect brief, with a clear warning that ignoring a summons has consequences. Not legal advice; routes to the court for anything binding and never coaches dodging a legal obligation.

What to give it

▸What the summons says — jurisdiction, dates, what response it requires and by when
▸Whether there's a genuine conflict or hardship — (a booked trip, a caregiving duty, a medical issue, exam dates) — vs simple reluctance
▸Work situation and whether they know their employer's — jury-leave policy / legal protections
▸First-timer nerves vs specific procedural questions

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓The summons's response deadline is surfaced as time-critical, and its authenticity
✓is confirmed via the court directly
✓The jury-duty scam pattern is flagged whenever a payment/threat prompted the query
✓Deferral/excusal is offered only for genuine grounds, on the court's process —
✓never as manufactured evasion
✓Work-leave rights and pay are routed to verify, not asserted
✓The what-to-expect walkthrough is included for first-timers

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not coach dodging jury service for someone able to serve — it's a civic and
often legal obligation; help with genuine hardship only
Do not assert deferral/excusal rules, leave rights, or pay as fact — they vary by
jurisdiction; route to the court and the official employment rules
Do not miss the scam angle — the fake-jury-fine call fleeces people constantly
