Hell, I'm all for making being a juror a legal profession.
What should be mandatory is fully informed juries.

Your form should have a box that you can check asking them to reschedule.So do you want to serve or get out of it kat?

I was called once a few years back and since I was self employed, jury duty would have created a financial hardship so I was excused on the second day.
A couple of months later I received a new notice but in Virginia you can't be called but every two years. I indicated that on my notice and was excused, never had to go in.
It does seem that once one is "in the system" they are called back rather frequently.

I guess that is why I keep getting hit up. And I can use the self employed excuse. Won't be a lie either.

Good point, but I am not sure. Some people love doing it (my husband), and some don't.
I guess what bothers me (only a bit), is the jail time and a fine.
Wonder of anyone has gotten that before...where they actually arrest you and out you in jail..

Teenage college student arrested by federal marshals for failure to appear for jury duty | abc13.com
"They treated my daughter like she was a serial killer, and I don't understand that at all," he said.
Federal marshals showed up and arrested his daughter Kelsey while she was attending a college class Tuesday and brought her before Federal Judge David Hittner.
"They handcuffed her and put shackles around her waist and shackles around her feet in front of all her classmates," Gloston said.
What shocked Gloston more than what happened, was why.
"I found out that she missed jury duty," he said.
