No travel for us. We went on our first trip just a few weeks ago. When we returned I was looking through the stack of mail. On the very bottom was a jury duty summons for my wife. She is on call for jury duty for the entire month of July. There goes our summer, or at least a good chunk of it.

I also live in Idaho, although in Payette County, rather than Ada. I had absolutely no problem getting a change through the courthouse. We have lived in Clearwater and Custer Counties and had no problem there, either. They realize that life happens.

2 years ago in April I got a summons for May. At the first of May I found out I had cancer. Then there was a whirlwind of blood tests, CAT, PET, & I don't remember the other scans, setting up for surgery for a PIC line, starting chemo, etc.
I completely forgot about the summons until MONTHS later when I found it again. To date, no one has been looking for me. The good news is I'm 1.5 years cancer-free.

Never known anyone getting issued a warrant for a no show. Personally know several people that didn't go and nothing happened.

The way I look at it, it's a small price to pay for having a court system with jury that is comprised of my neighbors. The alternative is pretty scary.

A long time friend I know from work told me about the time his wife had a jury summons and totally forgot about it. Nothing ever came of it. It's total BS that they will come after you with a warrant. They purposely over book for jury selection knowing there will be no shows.

Here's an interesting story about jury duty. I was told this by someone who actually saw it happening. One morning at the Marion County Court House in Salem Oregon they didn't have enough jurors to choose from. The bailiff went outside in front of the court house and literally pulled people in from the sidewalk. They were asked the typical 'Are you a U.S. citizen, etc. If they answered yes then they were taken inside to begin the selection process. True story.
