Maybe JC could start a Jury Service School for our unemployed, physically disabled and retired.

The school could teach them how the jury system works, basic principles to understand and interpret laws and regulations, when they can seek clarification or ask questions, seek layman terms or interpretation in their foreign language to get a better informed understanding etc etc.

I'm sure there must be plenty of seniors that would like to still contribute to the community as would senior university students. Maybe we could also recruit from expats on employments contracts greater then 12 months as well as permanent residents and dual citizens.

What I find odd is that voting is not compulsory, yet attending jury service is; unless you have a 'good' reason to be exempt!

But i will say that the person who picked up the phone was super helpful once she realized i was telling the truth.


I compared the two notices and my address was different on both of them: "8 Street" on one and "8th Street" on the other.

I called the jury office and now I don't have to serve for three years. Guy who helped me was super nice.

I agree their systems *are* awful. This happens to me all the time, so now I keep all records of my jury duty participation so I have proof of serving when I said I did.

Should I complete the online questionnaire anyway? I really don't want to take a day off of work to tell them I already served. (Yes. I have proof that I served.)



This happened to me a couple months ago. They told me to fill out the online form and in the request for delay section explain that I had just served. Got a little card in the mail a few days later saying I was excused.

Call the jury service office listed on your summons. I had to communicate with them over the summer and they were wonderfully helpful and responsive. Just let them know and I think they handle that via the telephone.

Good luck!
