I received a jury summons in the mail to serve as Jury on January 18. If I am not mistaken, this would be the 3rd time in the past 6 years. I consider this a privilege. I was shredding letters when I opened one envelope. Good I didn’t shred it before I opened the envelope.
A lot of people don’t want to be called to serve because they are busy with their work. It’s not only a one day obligation but sometimes the hearing could extend. People have to inform their employers if this happens. There are people who request for postponement or to be excused from jury service in certain cases.
