If you don't reply to the letter they can't do anything.
Unless, of course, it's sent certified mail (meaning you signed for it). So just ignore it. |

The issue with fulfilling this "civic duty" is that most people have full-time jobs, and most people rely on these jobs for income.
When you get called for jury duty, you miss work- and if the trial goes over 3 days or so, you generally start to lose income too. How these people deal with high profile murder trials that go one for a year or more is beyond me. Are they all independently wealthy, or just unemployed? 1. Be aware that "I can't miss work" is not a valid excuse. 2. Make yourself seem intelligent. Lawyers don't want critical thinkers- they want sheep. 3. If it's a personal injury case, just say that you find the litiguous nature of American society repulsive, and you think that most lawsuits are superfluous. The prosecuting attorney will drop you in a second. |

In Denver the employer is required to pay for you jury duty and there doesn't appear to be a way out. Basically, it was a morning off waiting for my number to be called, it wasn't and I went to work for half a day.
Isn't there the chance that the judge can site you for contempt if your answers are too obviously designed to get out of the trial? |

Octave,
Maybe they get per diem when it lasts longer? I feel like that question must've been addressed in a john grisham novel, but I just can't think of the answer! |
