What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Washington
I have been the owner of a small business for 15 years. In the past I have gotten several jury duty summons for local municipal court, and while I did have part-time employees a lengthy time away from the business would be a hardship, and I was always excused.
This time my summons was from the superior court 25 miles away. At this time since business has been poor this year I have no employees, and am doing everything myself, In addition, I cannot financially afford to miss any work since my income has been so much less than normal.
My request was denied. I appealed to the head of the county juries but have not heard back yet. Any suggestions for further appeals would be welcome, in case it's denied again.
Also, does anyone know the penalty for failing to report?
