Apparently, I have to call the night before and will be instructed on what to do and some times they even tell you that you don't have to show up, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

ugh i hope you get in so badly. Why would you hope this on me? I really don't want to go! For reference, I live in Flint, Michigan and that's where the court is. So if I don't have to be the juror on some heinous rape or murder I might get raped or murdered while walking into the courthouse. ... Copied to Clipboard!

My bf didn't go to his and nothing happened. He was out of town for a while for work. Didn't even know he had it until too late... Mine got sent to the wrong house (my mom's house in another state, because that was probably the last address they had before I went into the military). She explained I wasn't in the state. Then I got one here, but I had left to go home for a while, so I ended up not being able to go to mine...

I don't think I would have minded if it was an interesting case. But it probably wouldn't be. Plus, I don't have any time to do it. I have to work to make enough money to live. So, I'm kind of glad I didn't have to go. I was on paid leave back home...

I did jury duty once for a federal case. It was interesting but there were so many video depositions that the judge was falling asleep.

At least yours is at your local courthouse. I had to drive out to a federal courthouse. And odds are you won't even have to go in.

Trial by jury is a far fairer system and less prone to shenanigans 6-12 people with no stake in the proceedings are automatically less likely to be corrupt. You have to be pretty bad with sense not to see that >_> And the 12 laypeople work to the defendant's advantage, ensuring that the innocent are less likely to wind up in prison; likewise, the 6+ are more likely to render an impartial verdict in civil cases. ifnsman posted...

Jury Duty is great if you have a full time job. But they only pick on students and people who are stuck working part time. Good luck getting paid! My BF and I both have full time jobs. And both got it within months of each other. That being said, I think they've been wanting to give me jury duty for a while. They couldn't before because I was active duty military. Now they can because I switch to reserves. They sent it to my original address in a different state. Once my mom called to tell them I wasn't there, they sent it to my new address in a different state. They really wanted to get me to do it for some reason... --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you. I'm probably the LinkPizza you'll see around. ...
