I mean, have you recieved a summons (letter) either from your municpality or another in which you’re selected to be a juror. You show up to the courts and assigned a number along with being asked about occupation, status, etc. but is the probability even that high on becoming part of the 12 jurors? Is it a criminal offense for failing to appear?

    I was on the selection pool for it. Had to show up one time to get counted, then called in every day to make sure I wasn’t needed. I wasn’t.

    If you end up for selection on a jury, no need to be extreme. Anything you say is recorded. It’s incredibly rare for cases to actually go to trial, and only some of the jurors in the pool are selected.

    This also various by region.
