Courts have a big "stick" and can wack you pretty hard for ignoring their Jury summons.. I've gotten a couple jury summons during the summer time. I honestly filled out the form and included a letter explaining my "job" and the working hours involved. I requested the court to send me a jury summons during the winter months when I wasn't working full time farming,, and would be glad to fullfill my civic duty. I was excused with no problem. Few times I was summoned and did have the time to spend on a jury,, it was for a criminal trial,, the defense attorney asked what I did at that time,, " X years working in the jail,," The defense attorney couldn't get me refused fast enough... LOL... Ah-vaiure (sp) (french term I believe) is what it's called. | 
Got a letter from the district court, they want me to be on a jury, now what?
