Is there such a thing as permanent juror exemption?

Sometimes people may get a summons and then after they've discussed it with the clerk of courts we're going to find out that they actually are permanently exempt from ever being called in for jury duty. They may be permanently stationed out of the country for instance, so why would they send them a summons, they're never going to be there. They may be permanently, or until they retire, a law enforcement person. They may be a judge. The may be a medical person of some type who's on call or on emergency call. They may be another kind of emergency person; a paramedic, some paramedics can get permanent excuses as long as they're on certain shift rotations. So there are some that are permanent and some that are semi-permanent, but there are certainly a lot of exemptions. If you're not sure, call the clerk of courts and explain your situation or write a letter if you have time between the time you get the summons and the time you need to show up to serve for jury, and find out what you need to do to make sure that you're not really doing something that you shouldn't be doing by avoiding jury service.
