I know the Deputy Head at a school I worked at got out of doing it ...think he was recalled though later on...may as well get on with it

You can claim some circumstances but they want proof, e.g. my dad got out of it a few years ago because he had planned a month-long trip to Canada to visit family... but IIRC he had to actually send them proof of the flights / accomodation AND prove that it was booked before he got the summons.

That said being summoned doesn't mean you'll end up a juror, most are dismissed before the trial.

And if you do end up on a jury it's usually something **** and straightforward like drugs / theft. Hardly anyone gets to be on the jury of a "juicy" trial
