Jury duty question

Honestly, what you do is just throw it away because nobody can prove you actually received it.

Just call and reschedule it. You can reschedule up to 3 times.

Send them a copy of your flight schedule requesting they let you off the hook.

They should mail you a response in a week or two.

This is the correct answer. It's not proper service if sent by regular mail so there's no consequences for not complying.

When I was a kid the sheriffs department would come around and hand serve you a summons for jury duty. They don't seem to do that anymore.

In our little town if they're running low in the jury pool, they've been known to go out and pull people in off the street.

There should be instructions on the jury duty notice for how to request to be excused for hardship, previously scheduled travel, etc.

Just write a letter explaining that you already have a trip scheduled and mail it to them, preferably with a copy of hotel/airline reservation info. You should get a letter back from the courthouse telling you that you've been excused. I've had to do it before in Jefferson Parish and had no trouble getting excused.

Honestly the last time I was called in for jury duty was 4-5 years ago, I went in and the defendant was sitting there with his attorney and they called people up 1 by one and asked them if they'd make a good juror and I said no bc I could already tell the guy was guilty and there was some oooh's and ahh's but they let me go. Jury duty is the biggest waste of time, my wife wasted 2 weeks of her life on an insurance trial for some rich guy's yacht engine failing she was paid $20/day or something and parking was $12/day.

Been to Disney 13 times. I love the place

I'm glad you enjoy it but Disney is my personal version of hell

They'll excuse you for the duration of your trip. Just go in and explain the situation.
