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?

    yes. you can be held in contempt for not showing. That being said there is a very good chance you are not selected. I don’t think I have ever made it to the point where an attorney is even asking me questions. Its annoying though. The only compensation you get is a token sum for travel and lunch expenses.
