I served once, and it was an interesting experience, I learned to trust the court system more than I did before, at least for the civil trial I sat.
Years later I was on call for selection. During the selection process I agreed, when the lawyer asked, that false imprisonment needed to mean they couldn't leave, i.e. they were locked up. That was enough to eliminate me. I didn't want to be on a criminal trial that sounded like it was going to last weeks.
In short, it's easy enough to get out of serving, there's no reason to be a jerk.
I've always wanted to do jury duty. Never been called.
seems more likely depending how they get juror rolls. they usually target voter rolls, than DMV RECORDs, and then go down the list from them. also many people noticed if you voted frequently or recently you almost guaranteed to get one within 6month to a year. thats why people in other forums mentioned they stopped voting because of this too much of a hassle and it hurts thier income. or they just ignore the summons, even if they send another "warning summonrs"
I vote in every election and have never been called.
Obviously it depends on your location, but you can probably just sign up. Around here, you contact the county court system (which is how our juries are administered), give them your contact info, and wait for a case. You're limited to volunteering once per year, because some retirees would keep doing it just to stay busy.
also a interesitng thing they get you with, is that you can be called federal and superior(county court) in the same year, and one does not excuse the other if you did it already. so they can DOUBLE dip on people.
Cool, I can't volunteer here. But I was able to register in case they don't have my address.
