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, it’s mandatory for all citizen who are capable of doing it. Jury duty just means you have to show up for 3 days to be a potential juror. If you don’t get picked to be a juror you’re done after 3 days. Then you won’t be summonsed to do it again for another 5 years.
