I almost had to go last year. Told them for one month I had a couple of vacation days planned, and then the next time I called the night before and they said it was cancelled. I wonder if I was selelcted because I had renewed my drivers license earlier in the year?
I was disqualified from jury duty woo hoo!

While driver license registrations (along with voter registration and tax return info) are used to populate the pool, the selection process is random. It should statistically work out that someone be called about once every four years, which is what my own experience has been (3 times spread across 13 years, 1 was cancelled when I called in, 1 was a terribly tedious slog between two horrible divrocees fighting over how to split their real estate business, and 1 was a cyclist suing the DOT for spine injuries sustained from bad bridge design).
Considering that the draft doesn't exist, jury duty is the only currently existing compulsory civic duty. C'mon guys, suck it up and do it.

I think since I turned 18 I've only gotten it once but I was in college so they postponed it to Christmas break then when I called top check in I was dismissed, that was almost 10 years ago I think. I kind of want to be summoned just so I can say I did my part.

Civic duty sounds good until I have to get up and out and go to work everyday while welfare leaches sit around doing nothing as they watch me come and go.Since our tax dollars go toward supporting them and their lifestyle they should be ordered to serve as a condition of receiving benefits.Considering that the draft doesn't exist, jury duty is the only currently existing compulsory civic duty.

I once had an employer write a letter saying he wasn't paying me for missed time and it would be financially devastating to me. It worked. Most recently I got out because of the government shut down a year ago or so.

Some employers don't pay for days served and here the jury duty pay is seven bucks per day....barely enough for a half decent lunch.
I have jury duty next Monday. I have to go because I got excused from the last one. My college semester started that day and if I did not attend any classes I would get dropped lol.
