Jury duty OOOs should specify what's known (start date, expected duration if any), name a backup contact, and skip the over-explanation about civic obligation. The four templates below cover most jury duty scenarios.
'Hi — I'm at jury duty today and have limited email access. For urgent matters: [backup] at [email]. I'll respond to non-urgent emails when I'm back tomorrow morning.'
'Hi — I've been seated on a jury and will be in court through approximately [end date]. I have very limited email access during this window. For urgent matters: [covering person] at [email] / [phone]. I'll respond to non-urgent emails when the trial concludes.'
'Hi — I've been seated on a jury and will be in court for an indefinite duration (typically 5-15 business days). I have very limited email access during this window. For urgent matters: [covering person] at [email] / [phone]. I'll respond to non-urgent emails when the trial concludes.'
'Thank you for your email. I am currently fulfilling jury duty and have limited availability through approximately [end date]. For urgent matters, please contact [name] at [email]. Routine inquiries will be addressed upon my return. Thank you for your patience.'
