Jury Summons Question

[borgin.livejournal.com]

I just did a google search of this community and while I found discussions on other courts, I didn't find anything for this one:

I was summoned to jury duty in Woburn. I don't drive. Does using only public transportation qualify me for a hardship transfer to another court in Middlesex County? If so, which ones are the most T-accessible? My card lists Malden, Lowell, Marlborough, Somerville, and Ayer as hardship transfer possibilities.

If not, it looks like the best bet is the 134 bus, which leaves from Wellington Station. It wouldn't be fun to get there (I live in Davis) but it would be possible.

Since the 134 bus goes pretty close to the Woburn courthouse, they might not consider it a hardship. As with another poster's experience, I tried to move a Lowell appearance once, but it's proximity to the commuter rail meant I had to show up. YMMV.

thanks for the comment! I think I'm going to request to move it to Somerville or Malden, since they would be much easier to get to, but count on having to get to Woburn.
