I think it would be harder to be accepted on a jury if you wanted to serve. >Hi All, > >Have any of you PWP's been excused from jury duty because of PD? >If so what symptoms did you have that prevented you from performing this >duty? > >I have bee summoned for jury duty and have been trying to decide if I want >to try to be excused or not.
