UPDATE How many times have u been summonsed for jury duty?

I used to get called about every other year. As soon as I was eligible again. I’ve never served on a jury but have been chosen (they settled before the trial started). My husband has never once even gotten the questionnaire they send before the summons.

4 times, I believe. (Or maybe 3. I'm not exactly sure.)

This is a fun question around my house and among my friends because it varies so widely. I have been registered to vote since the day I turned 18 and had never ever been called for jury duty. When dh and I lived in Washington, DC, before we lived together, he got called twice and his two housemates also got called. He used to say that his address had some sort of flag on it at the jury duty office. lol. Meanwhile I continued on never getting called. Never got called. Continued never to get called. Getting older now, never got called. Everyone around me got called. lol

Then, the pandemic arrived. Just as vaccines were coming out... yep, I got called! hahaha -- I went online to the link provided and told them I was not reporting to an enclosed room with a bunch of other people before everyone was vaccinated. They replied that I was excused and would be called again at some point. 

I got called last year. They said I had to check the website after 5:00 on the afternoon before my report date, to see if they needed me. They did not, thankfully! So now I'm off the hook for the next three years. 

3 times but have yet to serve…

First I was summoned from Nova Scotia 1 week after I moved to another province.

2nd I had just given birth and was excused

3rd I was all set to go and the defendant pled guilty the night before.

It’s now been over about 15 years since my last summons. I would gladly serve so maybe my turn will come again soon.

Hahaha, literally just had this conversation with my friend in NC.  He has been called up 3 times.  I am turning 59 this year and have never been summoned for jury duty here in VT.  I told him I probably just jinxed myself though.  😄

4 times for state

Served on one jury (first time summoned)

Had to go in another but dismissed

2 times excused - once due to being caregiver & the other due to medical

1 time summoned for federal grand jury but was excused because I was a stay at home mom & my son's ride to school (no bus) & we had no one to watch him.

I can think of six times that I've actually gone to the courthouse. All but one of those times I was on the jury. Occasionally, I get a summons but my number is not picked and I don't have to report.

I know people who have never been summonsed.

I have been summoned so many times I can’t remember. I picked 8-12, but even that I am not positive about. My Company used to offer unlimited paid jury duty leave and the courts knew that. We all got called so often! It has slowed down lately though, knock on wood.

My most enjoyable time was serving in the Beverly Hills courthouse. A couple of famous people there, along with some entitled ones who got fined by the judge. 🤣 But, I have only sat on two cases out of all those times I’ve been called in.

I've been summoned 2-3 times. I've never served but was excused because of medical reasons due to chronic migraines. I do realize it's my civic duty and I've always wanted to serve on a jury, but it's impossible to predict when a migraine will strike or how long an attack will last.

Probably about 4 times until I aged out of participation.

I was never selected to served--teachers and librarians were not favorites in Dallas county.
The one time I was sure to be chosen (because of the way it is done), the DA collapsed and died and
all of us were sent home.

I chose 8-12 times. Sadly, I’ve yet to be on a jury. 

I've only been summoned once at 49. I was selected and it was six days. I really enjoyed it. Now that I'm retired I would totally be a "professional" juror! My husband has been summoned a few times and my son when he was 20 and deployed. I don't know why some people get summoned more than others.

I want to say 4-5 times.

Twice I had to stay all day.
Once i was excused by phone because I was doing physical therapy, so they did not make me postpone, they just released me.
Twice I got to go home early.

Never served. Only made it into the courtroom once.

I moved to my house in 1997. Right after that move, I started receiving jury duty summons every 12 - 18 months. This continued for about 15 years, so I received at least 10 summons during that time. (You can get summoned after 12 months of 'serving'.) My husband only received one summons during that time. Most of the time I didn't have to go to the courthouse, but it still stressed me out.

The courthouse is quite a ways away from me (20+ miles) and since I would have to take public transportation, it would be a big hassle to serve on a jury. If it were closer or more convenient, I wouldn't mind.
