Federal jury duty is probably way less lenient than county jury duty. I would Check the federal court website not the state court site. Last time I got summoned I wrote them a letter stating I would be out of state and our lodging was non-refundable. Told them I would be willing to make it up in the future, but they ended up excluding me and haven’t heard from them since.

Pittsburgh federal court was pretty lenient. I had to show up, but was just like 'hey I need to travel for work' and was excused.

Same. I have jury duty in April and I’m also traveling for work. I used the ejuror portal to submit my exemption. It was approved. Easy peasy.

What! I was told that because I’m married and partially employed/unemployed right now (maternity leave) that I have no excuse!
