What are legal ways to get out of jury duty?

There are really not that many ways to get out of jury duty if you are called for jury duty that are legal. One of them of course is that you may have extraordinary circumstances. You may be going in the hospital for surgery and they may want a note from your doctor. A note from your mother will not do. If you get a summons for jury duty and you are actually serving in the armed forces overseas you obviously can't be there and that's a legal excuse. But there really aren't a lot of legal excuses and you should not try to find a legal excuse. If you have a valid excuse you will know it's valid. But I am not going to encourage you to get out of jury duty I am going to encourage you show up and try to get on the jury instead.
