    One of the most important things you can do! Right next to voting

    I work in the courts.

    They send out notices and around 1/4 to 1/3 show up.

      After my last time going in for jury duty, I think my notice will be lost from now on. Both lawyers and the judge took my name down and asked for the correct spelling before telling me I could leave. I was the only one that all three took the info down on after one of the other jurors caught up with me in the parking lot leaving. Guess they didn’t like someone that told them what was on their mind straight up with no B.S. thrown in.

        I just got a notice to serve in Harris County. I live in Montgomery county.
        They must be reaching hard for people to serve.

          Don't even have to make anything up or play games like some do to get out, just tell them like it is. Thanks you're excused.

            Harris tried that with me years ago. I told them I have never lived nor will ever live there. They said I needed to go down and fix it. I said its your mistake not mine have fun lol.

              I had a jury summons yesterday. When I handed them my papers they took a quick glance and told me I'm excused, the lady behind me was set up to the court room. I kinda want to know why they excused me.

                They were looking for a more equitable jury

                    So you had an chance to influence a group of people and help the jury make the right call, and instead "told them what was on their mind", thereby forfeiting your ability to make a positive influence with the group?

                    Gotcha, you showed them

                        I served 4 times in Bexar County. Only got chosen for the sifting one time, but didn't make the final pick. I'm aged out now.

                          At 73 I'm out? What about Federal cases?
