I got my first one two years ago around this same time and the whole thing was one of the biggest waste of times I've (unwillingly) had to participate in:
Show up early, sit around with a bunch of people doing nothing for nearly an hour, get told to take a break around the hot town for an hour, come back to sit around with a bunch of people again for another hour, take another break outside for an hour, then told to come back tomorrow. Repeat all of that the next day, except they decide not to select you in the end of it all. Really hope I don't have to go. --- https://imgur.com/pmc9XsI https://imgur.com/LkrRVe2 https://imgur.com/Dp03g3y Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Hate to break it to you, but you're going to get them, likely at the same rate, forever. It varies from state and town, but if you've lived in the same plays and got 1 almost 2 years ago exactly, expect one in 2 years.

Why do people freak out about these things. Just ignore it and don't go. They can't prove beyond a reasonable doubt with video evidence the mail person delivered the letter and you opened the letter and choose to ignore it.

I had a jury summons while I was in high school. The judge actually said I could pass on doing jury duty, but I wanted to see what it was all about. All I learned was ping pong tables shouldn't be placed under a high speed ceiling fan.

The problem with Jury Summons is they dont reimburse you properly.

here in nyc they are serious about it. if you ignore a summons two times they sent it registered and certified the 3rd time where you have to show up and talk to a judge, then he/she will give you a date to show up, if you dont show up to that one you get a bench warrant which means if you ever get stopped by a cop or use an airplane you'll be handcuffed and sit in jail for at least 1 day.
