Have you recieved a summons (letter) either from your municpality or another in which you’re selected to be a juror (If so, what is the process like?). You show up to the courts and assigned a number along with being asked about occupation, status, etc. but is the probability even that high on becoming part of the 12 jurors? Also, is it considered a criminal offense for failing to appear?

    I’ve been on a jury in Aus. You have to attend but there are various options provided in the letter about how to get out of it. End of the day no magistrate wants someone on a jury who doesn’t want to be there so use one of the opportunities to say that politely and clearly and they will probably let you go.
