I have just received my latest jury duty summon, something I don't want to see. I know I will be dismissed during the selection process, as I am quite biased on certain matters, but I still dread receiving those summons, spending half the day at the court house. Do you like being a juror, or do you dread receiving the summon like I do?
That dreaded Jury Duty summon...

I seem to receive jury summonses more often than once/year but I have yet to have to come in. Right now, I'm on call as a potential US District court juror. I have to check in every Friday in February to see if I need to come in the following Monday. So far the trend of never having to come in is continuing.
I actually want to be a juror. This is like being teased.

Other and I love being a juror. Okay, I'm never actually "served" jury duty. I'm only 20 and have only been register to vote for about a year now. However, over Christmas break I got my first summons and I was so excited! Like, I know that's not normal, but I'm the girl that did mock trial in high school and got t set in few a few cases. I find our legal system fascinating.
The letter I got, though, was only a notice to let me that I could POSSIBLY do jury duty. I have to wait for another letter to confirm it. I'm really excited, though!!!

I've got away with a similar excuse once, but this year our court system has become stricter, can't do that anymore.

i have been summoned three times so far. the first one was right before we moved out of the county, the 2nd one I could not do because I was watching my kids while the wife was working and could not afford a babysitter. the third one came right about the time I was going to start a job out of town, and I needed to be there; as it was a small job and only needed three of us. I was trained to install the material, so my company wrote me a letter so I could get out of jury duty.
Ours is different then other places. You get called for a month. They dont tell you when you will serve, it is random. This makes it really hard to work out with my work and the jobs I am on. It also makes it hard to make sure someone is watching the kids.

That's a pain in the neck, why can't they be like everywhere else? Good thing I'm in a different county!

I have yet to get picked and people think I'm weird but I would go in place for someone if I could! I love that type of stuff and I'm just now finishing up my bachelor degree in Corrections and Social Services so it's right up my alley.
