Jury Service Duty
In California.
I know you have to check jury site or Call-in to check if your group # is called. The service says week of Feb 4, my question is.. do you have to call until friday or continue to saturday? Also, can the jury be done(selected all its jurors) eary, on Thursday for example.
20 groups left and they choose 3 each day..so not all groups will get called? And if not called, does that count as the yearly service of serving Jury. Thanks.

[quote=khermudgeon]California summoned me for jury duty 2 years after I moved away from it.
I do know you're supposed to call every day until they say you don't have to, I'm not sure if weekends count.

you can go several years without serving on a jury, just because your number never came up, but unless you end up in the courtroom i don't think anyone will let that count as serving on a jury.[/quote]
oh so they choose on random, 20 groups left, they call 3 a day... wed,th,fri = 9 groups. 9/20 groups = little less than 50% being chosen, hopefully they choose all their jurors soon
[quote=tecul1]inb4 wrong section.
How it works in NY is that they summon you for a trial starting on the specified day at the specified court in the letter, and that you are required to be at service on that day by 8 am and must continue to serve until the trial is over. Most trials don't take more than the time allotted in that day for the trial, but if it does you go home (or somewhere) and come back the next day at 8 am, and continue the process. Not my experience, but what I know.[/quote]
