What is Jury Duty?

Jury Duty is a responsibility that many Americans are tasked with every day. It is absolutely mandatory, and you can get in legal trouble if you avoid this duty. Although you may be able to be excused from Jury Duty, you have an obligation to take this matter up from the court. This means you cannot simply skip or ignore a Jury or other court Summons.

AM I GOING TO MISS WORK? HOW LONG WILL I BE OUT?

It’s hard to know how many days you will be required to attend, but it can depend on a lot of factors, such as if the case is a criminal or civil matter, and whether you are actually selected as a member or alternate.
