[blindlaw] jury duty in Virginia?

[Mike Gilmore]

Hi everyone,
 
This is for those of you who practice in Virginia.  I recently received a summons for jury duty.  Unfortunately, the questionnaire that I filled out had nowhere on it that asked if I was a member of the bar nor is there a place to write "blind. please excuse." When I lived in California, a simple phone call to the court telling them I am blind got me out of jury duty permanently.
What is the process in Virginia? I'd like to avoid wasting my time and the court's time by going down there and getting to voire dire and they see that I'm a blind active bar member. I appreciate your insights.
 
Thanks.
 
Mike
