...argh. Anyone else ever had to serve jury duty?

I hope they exempt me, because it's a BAD time. Orientation is the Friday of my finals week and only one hour after my last final. It's also the day before graduation. If not, I'm gonna have to speed to get there, and I don't even really know where there is.

 

Just make sure you act single minded so they wont pick you...

 

at what age does jury duty start?

 

18, they get your name when you register to vote.

 

No they don't. I have not registered to vote, but I have done jury duty...

 

I'm 20 and i've never had to serve on jury duty... is it because i'm in school still?

 

Nope. I'm still in school and I just got picked. It's apparently a random process. The choose you through voter registration or drivers license information. At least, that's how it is in Arkansas.

 

i got a letter for jury duty about 3 months ago , i was able to postpone the date , so i sent it back with a date in dec. on a sunday , so i hope it screws them up or snows and they cancel

 

They wont cancel in snow. And im pretty sure if you call and tell them the situation, that they might reschedule you. I had to go and sit there for like two hours, then go to the little room for like half an hour, and then i didnt get picked.

 

in NYC if your a full time student they normally let you slide
