i've been randomly selected as a jury candidate. this happened twice when i was underage, and once when i'd just turned 18, that time i was actually summed. i was supposed to go to the 2nd day of a 2 day jury selection process, but by the end of the first day they had a dozen people so i was off the hook. that time i was quite worried because i'd just started college and couldn't be missing classes. this time i'd be quite interested in serving my civic duty, especially because my work gives leave-with-pay to jurors. the strange thing is that the letter was sent to my mom's house. i haven't lived there in 7 years, and have used my current address on my taxes, driver's licence, health card, etc. i have no idea why it went there, but if i had not responded in 5 days i would've gotten a fine or worse. i filled in all my answers and popped it in the mail. not sure how long it will take, but i'm very curious about the whole experience. i feel like it's a right of passage or a milestone, something everyone does eventually.
he was perfect except for the fact that he wasn't into me.

Me too!!! Wouldn't it be cool if we were on the same case? lol.
I don't get leave with pat though :)
In all the years, it is only I that get the summons, never Myron.
The first time I got to go to the courthouse, which was PACKED with people (bring a book) and they had a little bingo thingy and they called out 12 people who had to come up and they checked if they were suitable and the rest of the cases they were planning on picking for were not going to trial after all, so the rest of us (couple hundred people) got to go home. But it took about 3 hours this process.
If it is so random, why do you keep getting called? I have never been called.
I've never ever been called either and I'm not sure if I'm sad about not being selected for jury duty or not being asked. Like dodge ball. B got picked this summer but was able to get out of it.
I also have never been called. My grandfather sat on the jury of a murder case a few years ago. He said it was absolutely horrible.
