I've been called twice and I'm not a US citizen nor eligible to vote. I don't know where they pulled my name from! Both times were canceled pretty quickly when I pointed out I'm a resident Brit.

Been called once, did not attend, have been putting it off for over a year. Ugh I dread the day

my scheduled week starts on the 24th... that's christmas week =X

time to bust out the "i'm an engineer major," "i think blacks are dirty," and "i am a college student" trick

I've been summoned so many times for jury duty that I've lost count. I've only had to serve once as the I've been excused or dismissed for the other summons. Here where I live you will get selected for jury duty if you have a valid state driver's license or if you're registered to vote.

It's also very tough to get excused from jury duty now days. Those days of claiming financial hardship, being a college student, not understanding enough of the English language, etc. are over and won't necessarily get you a ticket out from serving. Funny thing is my good friend's mother works for the state jury pool and tells me that she sees my name come up in the selection process all the time.

I've been called for jury duty 4 times and I actually served on a trial back in January. It wasn't too bad. It was from 10:00 till 3:00 every day with 1 1/2 hours for lunch. I didn't try to get out of it cause I wanted a few days off from work, plus the courthouse was closer than work so I had a shorter commute too.
