| The urban juror |
Ha! I thought a couple weeks ago. Alameda County has finally decided that it doesn't need to summon me every single year for jury duty. After all, last year, I was summoned for Nov. 5, and that date came and went this year with no summons in sight!
Then, today, it came -- that all too familiar envelope from the Superior Court of California with JURY SUMMONS ENCLOSED in big red letters on the front. To my dismay, I've been summoned to the Hayward courthouse (a.k.a. the one that's completely inconvenient for me to get to) instead of the downtown Oakland one.
So on Dec. 17, chances are that I'll need to sit through "Ideals Made Real" again and, if I'm really unlucky, get to spend a few hours in voir dire. Sigh. |

As you know, I have had jury duty for 9 straight years. I do feel your pain. May you call in and they say dismissed.

I live in Howard County Maryland and have been summoned once in twelve years. It's nice to be in a sleepy suburb for some things.

Last month, I got my first jury summons in like 10 years or more. I've never actually had to serve, and I didn't have to this time either. It was for this past Tuesday - I called the night before and my number was not one of the ones that had to show up
If history repeats, I'll get two more summons over the next few months and won't have to go in for any of them.
Which is too bad, because I kind of want to go through the whole process and be part of a trial once in my life.
