How often do you get a jury duty notice?

Got Federal District 3 times in 5 years. Canceled every time.

Parish once. Excused due to not living in parish for past 2 years.

Never had jury duty.

Just do your service. You wouldn't want everyone trying their hardest to get out of it if you were on trial.

3 times in the last 10 years or so... two 19th JDC and one Federal.

I've always gone, have never been selected and typically done in 2-3 days.

I do get paid still, though, so I guess if I was hourly or owned my own business I would try to get out of it.

once in 11 years...but I didn't get selected

Got two in the last two years, one state, one federal. Cancelled both times.

If you don't show up, they can send someone after you. They don't always bother with it, but you run the risk. It usually has to be a damn good excuse, like it would be a severe work hardship-not just an inconvenience, but you're self employed and your business would have to shut down, that sort of thing. Or you're the sole caregiver of a disabled family member. My parish will allow you to set a more convenient date one time, then you have to show up no matter what, no excuse.

I started getting them as soon as I moved to BR from Arkansas & registered to vote here & got my DL changed to LA. I got them every two years for a while, and had to serve on a couple of juries, but most of the time sat in a little room in the jury pool on the tenth floor of the governmental building wasting time for most of the week.

I have never gotten one before. Sooner or later my luck is going to run out. What happens if you don't show up?

---

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend that.

What is the easiest way to get out of it?

Have a baby and/or move.

I've gotten two notices. The first I sat in a library downtown for three days reading before I was told I didn't have to come back. For the second I didn't have to show up.
