    Hi all,

    I am about to begin an MSc full time under the Springboard initiative as I am currently unemployed. However, I have received a summons for jury duty for next month, As a full time student am I excused?

    Thanks

    It is a full time course so I should qualify to be excused. It is a distant masters though but Im still required to keep in touch with lecturers every day and go to the library etc. Ill fill out the form and see what happens.

    A distant masters? You should definitely attend, you may not be picked, if you are picked and the case will go on for some time, state your situation then.

    Do you not think you should do your duty as a citizen?

    Do any Lawyers do Jury Duty? Seeing as they are exempt like full time students.

    Students can be excused as of right, in other words can do jury duty if they wish, but can not be forced. Lawyers on the other hand are ineligible to serve even if they want to.
