I was summoned for jury duty in NYC. I’m supposed to call in on Oct. 6, which is the second day of Sukkos.
Suggestions?
You are allowed to postpone Jury duty, just give them a date, Try to give in December (Courts are less busy then and want cases over before the new year)
IT might be too late. But did you try postponing
What would happen if you ignored the letter?
DovidBT: The same thing that happens to the other 1.5 million New Yorkers who ignore it.
I rec’d a notice top report here in CT on Wed 09/20. Lawyers are not exempt. At 5:30 PM tomorrow I’ll check the judicial website to see if in fact I have to report. If it says yes, I’ll click to reschedule. If it says no, I’ll be deemed to have served my obligatory service and can’t be called for 3 years.
4 years ago I was scheduled for jury duty two days before Pesach. I showed up and was sent to a courtroom for questioning. The bailiff was laughing his head off, knowing I’d be excused because I know almost all the lawyers and judges too well. There was a new kid prosecutor going through the background of the case. He asked if any of the jury pool knew any of the lawyers, defendant, detectives or the judge. I raised my hand and was asked who I knew. I replied all of them. I referred the defendant to his defense attorney, my son in law………..the prosecutor’s jaw dropped and he said excused.
CTLAWYER: Lol.
