    I've gotten summoned twice since I turned 18. However I got out of serving because I go to school 150 miles away from where I live :) Honestly, I wouldn't mind serving, seems like it may be a beneficial experience.

    I did jury duty a year or so ago but I was struck from 5 jury lists and never saw a case. I figured if I had to be there then I could at least see some cut-throat lawyer action!

    I am not a registered voter, so I don't have to worry about getting called for Jury Duty.

    Well i was on standby group #14 and only #15 and 16 have to go. I'm actually a little bit disappointed because i wanted to see what it was like.

    I had to go right b4 Brian Nickols shot up the place but didn't get selected for a jury. I was there for about 4 hours and got a check for $25 and got paid for a full day at work and didn't even have to come in!!!!

    You can also use school as an allaby I believe, ie you cannot attend due to prior obligations towards education.

    if you have a job, then most jobs are required by law to pay you for the missed days as part of your civic obligation.
