Another notice for Jury duty

[Kay H]

I called at 9 AM today and was told that Federal jury duty has no relation to county jury duty and I am not exempt. Count jury duty is every 3 yrs and and this is my 3rd time in a row at exactly 3 yr intervals. I filled out the info card and I will be on vacation when I am supposed to report so they better postpone it. Have not yet been chosen for the jury at the county level so this may be my year. The 3 wasted days awaiting the new is the pits.

Now I'll probably get scheduled mid winter with 3 feet of snow on the ground. Oh well, I tried.

I have to report tomorrow to Supreme Court - my husband said 'oh no!' via email.
Waiting to hear back from him why this is not good - in my county u don't get called again for 6 years.

[littlestar]

I've been called about 4 or 5 times. My husband - I have lost count on how many times he's been called. It's the most I had ever heard of until I heard about some of you guys. I know people that have never been called.

I usually get called when there's bad weather in the winter.

I got called in July. Most places, they'll excuse doctors from serving, but not here. At least they let me reschedule to a time when having to suddenly leave for jury duty won't put lives at risk.....

As a nurse, I was in an exempt category for years - all nurses in NY lost that exemption 4 years ago and I was called within the first few months - at least now they have enough people in my county to make your service every 6 years....

Kay, did your state have a 'nurse exemption'?

NJ doesn't have a nurse exemption, I'm an RN and I get called entirely too often.

I filled out the form honestly and mailed it. I called today and I have been excused. They didn't say anything about rescheduling and I didn't ask. Sometimes things work out.

This just adds to the nursing shortage in small way, but every RN/LPN is beyond vital.

A woman I worked with was called for federal jury and had to go for the first 3-4 days every month for 1 year. I forgot the title she had, assistant something or other. I believe those were the indictment days.

We can be called once a year for jury duty. I have been called every year for the past several years. However, I have not had to serve on a jury yet. Almost everybody I know here gets called every year.
