I have just always served. Around 90 percent of the time I swear it is just a simple drug case that rarely lasts more than a day. Oddly I get dismissed with most drug cases though since it is well known around my city how involved I was in passing the medical marijuana laws which they equate to being soft on drugs. Not to mention I have personally met with almost all of the decent lawyers who take on drug cases so again that often gets me tossed.
Yet if your business would really have bad hardship if you would be gone for more than a day or two and you must get out of it. First just try to claim hardship and that often can work. Next if you do know a doctor they can write a note and get you out of jury duty for life. Then some easy excuses are ones like that you do not believe in the drug laws. That you personally believe in the old testament of an eye for an eye. You may also act like you REALLY REALLY want to serve on that jury, this one scares someone all the time. Then the never fail one is just saying that you recall seeing the defendant in a McDonald's awhile back talking about something real quiet like and he/she gave you the creeps.
Though like I said I just rather serve. It actually can be a very interesting process and the last time I did I was glad to be their or that dude would of gotten his third strike.
