Its pretty easy to get out of. Just let them know you have finals and you will probably be dismissed.

If you are very opinionated in the jury selection the lawyers will ask you to leave.
 
hmmmm might try the rescheduled thing then....prolly end up being next semesters finals....

thanks for help btw.

Show up, expalin your circumstances and ask to be excused....

Or make arrangements with your professors and enjoy fulfilling your civic duty
 
in jersey you need to send them a hand written letter explaining why you can't make it. i've done it twice so far and had no problem.
 
Maybe I'm just ignorant of the whole jury duty process, but if you just start rambling about how the defendant is guilty right away shouldn't they dismiss you in 2 seconds?
