What if I am unable to serve due to my health?

If you are unable to serve due to health conditions, you will need to provide a current physician's statement stating the nature of the health issue. However, you must still complete the Juror Qualification form.

After completing questions #1-#24 on the online Juror Qualification form, select medical hardship and add details in the text box provided. A link to upload your scanned documents is available before you submit your online form.

You may also ask the physician to fax the note directly to the Jury Commission at 402-441-6190.  A judge will review your situation and determine if you are to be excused.
