The easiest way to get out of jury duty is to ask about jury nullification during voir dire.

But the bigger thing is: why would you want to get disqualified from one of your biggest civic duties?

because jury duty pays like 2 dollars an hour and I gotta eat. I know lots of folks on this website are relatively well off, but the entire country doesn't make 6 figures

Or you could just write to the court and ask to be excused, so you don't even have to show up. Most judges will excuse you for any reason if you ask.

Because jury duty does not pay enough to put a roof over one’s head and food on the table?
