If you are called for jury duty, bring your summons to the Office of Student Affairs and we will mail a letter to the court excusing you from service. Simply fill out the juror information section on the back (you can leave the employer section blank) and sign and date the bottom. Please bring in your form as soon as possible after you receive it so that your letter of excuse can arrive at the court before your summons date.

When the court receives this letter from UCSF, they will excuse you for one year—the maximum length of time possible. If you are summoned again while you are still in medical school, you can write on your form that you are still a student and the court will excuse you again.

If you are called to serve in any county besides San Francisco and you live in San Francisco (even if your permanent address is elsewhere), simply check off the box on the form that says you do not reside in that county and mail it in.
