[quote=Anonymous]I'm in FFX county. I been called up 3 times, you get into a rotation every 10 years on so in FFX, I showed up the first time and just sat in the lobby for hours and hours, a short time later I got called up again and same thing filled a questionairre and sat.

I got called up again 2 years ago, the letter explained the rotation thing. I put the letter in my mail pile and forgot all about it, so I didn't show, which I guess put me in the not reliable group, which is a good thing I think if you have no interest in serving on a jury.

I don't, as I've spent enough time in a courtroom to know the interesting ones involve someone possibly losing their livlihood, family and going to jail, which I have no interest in voting for and or some boring corporate dispute which I likewise have no interest in sitting through.

No consequences that I know of other than I haven't been called up since. Show up with the kids and there is a pretty good chance they will tell you to go home and put you back in the cue because you were reliable enough to make more of enough effort, you actually showed up and with kids in tow, which is more then 60% of the people who get called to serve would.

People with busy lives avoid jury duty like the plague, there is a reason there are a lot of pensioners on jury duty. [/quote]
