Congratulations and thank you do doing a civic service in the name of justice.
You'll need to call the clerk of the court where the trial is scheduled to get the specifics but I'm pretty sure a book will be fine.

at the back of the jury summons, there must be somewhat the place you could verify off the explanation why you at the instant can't accomplish this accountability. Examples could be mentally risky, no longer able to study or write, little ones below the age of 10 that is left at homestead, poor ethical judgement, and so on. If something, you're able to be able to properly be waiting to get a physician's notice declaring which you're being dealt with for tension. The courtroom calls alot of means jurist for one case and then with the aid of a approach of questions and eliminations, the attorneys pick who they desire on the jury. So there is an possibility which you does not get chosen for jury besides.

Yeah take a book. First of all you stand around a lot. Then at some point you're called before a judge who likely as not will tell you the case has been dismissed. BUT, you get to keep the six bucks or so which they send you in the mail at some point later!

It's a great experience you'll go to your town courthouse the known as the court room. It will take a day or two for them to go through the process of picking randomly #'s. When i got picked i was #12. I also got to be the person who went back into the court room and ask the judge question pertaining to the case. I was nervous at first but it's a great experience.

I had it last year and it was great! Take a book to pass the time in case you don't get selected. It really is a good experience. Good luck.

it is really very simple. there will be a large room full of people. it is what is called the jury pool.you will fill out a questionaire. you then will be called with a group to go to a court room. there you will be ask questions and they will pick you or release you
