Jury Duty
I've been selected for Jury Duty! Hooray!

Is there any way to know if I'll actually have to report besides calling the hotline number the night before?

I ask because I have quite the busy week at work next week, and it would be very beneficial to know if I'm going to need to report or not. (Those nuggets at McDonald's aren't going to fry themselves!!)

My online research has failed me.

Any help appreciated.

I think In most cases if you have material hardship they’ll excuse you.

Best thing is to go to the court ahead of time and explain rather than drop bombs in the selection.

Call them up and tell them you need to attend a Ku Klux Klan meeting that day and need a note from the court to show you are on jury duty.

In most places, a financial hardship excuses jurors. Self employment is considered a financial hardship. In some jurisdictions you could contact the jury clerk, advise you are self employed and be excused. In others, you have to go to court and tell the judge, who excuses you. Check with your jury clerk if you’re summoned.

Gotta be careful in some areas. In Mississippi, that could possibly be a bonus.

Tell them you got a Black Panther meeting to organize.

In the interview process just say that you are a fan of and believe in jury nullification. Immediate dismissal.

edit: I replied before reading the other people who also said this.

I've been summoned for jury duty once in my life. I wasn't selected either.

I probably just jinxed myself.

Last time I was called to jury duty, I was actually selected to be in the pre-trial potential juror interview process by the attorneys.

It was a DUI case and the judge said they were going to try to proceed with the trial “through the evening” (it was already almost 5 p.m.)

Not wanting to be stuck in a trial “through the evening”, I made sure to disqualify myself as a potential juror.

When they asked me if I could make an impartial judgement in this DUI case I said no because I love to drink and alcohol is an important part of my life.

I didn’t get selected for the trial so I guess my efforts were successful.

If your luck is anything like mine there will be a notice in your mailbox when you get home.

Almost 5pm? Geez, what time did this all start? Our jury pools here start first thing in the morning.
