I've been summoned. I've had it once before, but was dismissed at lunch on the first day. Has anyone actually had to report all week if they weren't selected?

I only had to report for one morning before being dismissed for the week.

I guess it depends on how many cases the court is expecting to see that week and how many settle before jury selection.

I've been summoned like 3 times and I never made an appearance. No charges or warrants either.

I had to go three days in a row before they finally dismissed the remaining jury pool. Must have been 200 people to begin with. No jury was selected. The first couple of days, I was sent home around 2 PM. The third day, noon.

Anyone know how often they do this?

quite often...I was there couple of weeks ago...
around 10am there was an announcement that there was a 2 week trial about to begin and since there was not previous notice anyone that couldn't stay for 2 weeks were given a 6 month differal...
I opted out and got the notice in the mail that I'll be due up next April...

Last April, I sat thru jury selection in one trial on the 1st day, but I wasn't picked. I was dismissed after that.

I've never been called, but always wanted to be picked for jury duty.

I'm on call for federal jury duty for the next two weeks. There's a number I have to call every day after 5pm to find out if I have to report the next day. Sounds weird to me; anyone else ever have to do this?

I remember that dude. Story and joke teller. Is that his regular gig, or do the judges alternate the orientation duty?

Just try to sound like a lawyer or libertarian when they interview you and they will run your arse out of there real quick.

They want drones who will just care to give a quick verdict.
At least in my experience.

I got a jury summons for this Thursday in the 24th district in Gretna. I got one about 6 months ago, and when I checked the website the night before reporting, it told me that my juror number was not needed. Hopefully the same thing will happen this week.
