I have a family member that works in Law Enforcement. Can I be excused?

No.  Civil cases, such as contract claims, personal injury claims, and landlord/tenant disputes can also be tried before a jury and may not have any connection with Law Enforcement.  If you feel there is a conflict of interest or bias on the case you are selected to serve on, you may bring this up with the judge or the attorneys during the voir dire process (juror questioning).  The Jury Manager cannot excuse you as a potential juror because of what you do for a living, your family makeup, or events in your past.
