I'm not sure how it is where you live, but here (Fulton County, Georgia) there are about three reasons you are excused: primary caregiver for a child under 6, incompetent or disabled, or over a certain age (something like 75). Otherwise, you go when called. You can game the system for a little while, but they will eventually catch up to you. The CFO of the company I work for forgot about his jury summons. The judge sent two sheriff's deputies to his house at six in the morning and took him to the judge's chambers for a meeting.Quote:
