Several interns for the Alameda County Superior Court sat in on numerous jury selections in May and June of this year and found that roughly a third of the jurors were excused for hardships, such as financial concerns or pre-scheduled vacations, Rosynsky said. The list of cases that the interns observed was not all-encompassing, meaning that the exemption rate could actually be far higher or lower.
