Medical reasons or physical disability

Family or caregiver responsibilities

Being a primary caregiver for a dependent with special needs

Financial hardship or significant financial loss if you have to serve on a jury

Being a student, particularly if it's during an exam period or if it would cause a significant disruption to your studies
