From a call to the Pima County Superior Court Jury Commissioner’s Office on 8 October 2026, with the county’s own medical form. Financial hardship is still available but less common now: Arizona pays jurors up to $300 a day.

Pima County Superior Court — Request for Medical Excuse from Jury Service (A.R.S. § 21-202). Arizona law (A.R.S. § 21-202) requires a written statement from a physician, physician assistant, or RNP licensed in Arizona; if the juror has none, an approved professional caregiver may complete the court’s form. It describes the restrictions, the symptoms and their duration, and when the juror could serve, signed under penalty of perjury. A lesser condition may warrant a postponement rather than an excuse.
