re: Louisiana grand jury duty

I was on the TN grand jury back in 2012.

If you’re picked, expect to show up from 8-12 M-Th for 3 months.

We heard just over 1000 cases.

I dreaded it at first, but I’d do it again in a heartbeat. My employer at the time UnitedHealth had good policies in place, so that helped make it easy.

It’s also a great way to get to know law enforcement higher ups.

It was once a month for 1-3 days for a year.

good lord, that is a lot of time...

When I went, about half the names called were no shows. Technically they were in contempt of court. Practically, there's no way they can cite that many people.

And a lot of times, the summons aren’t properly served. They’re just mailed out. Which means the court can’t do anything to you for failure to appear Bc there’s no proof you were served.

I’ve been registered to vote since 1998 and have never gotten a summons. I’d like one.

My father's late 60's and never been summoned. Mother just once.

What kind of horseshite is that? Good lord.

I got one about eight months ago. Only a handful were selected for the jury. Most of the people that went were dismissed. They just randomly select peoples names. I was selected as an alternate but never had to actually go in. It's not too bad, they work with your schedule if you're selected.

Nah I was in Cenla. Maybe they all do it on the same day of the month.
