I was recently scheduled for JD in New Bedford for late January and had it switched to May. I have no problem serving on a jury, but if I'm going to serve I'm heading out fishing at the end of the day. I had to go just over 3 years ago in Dedham, but was sent home. One of the guys there got out of it by telling them he would make a great juror because he can tell if someone is guilty by looking at them. I don't know if it was a ploy to get out of it, or if he was really that dumb.

So I just got selected for jury duty again! Have to go to Fall River on Aug. 1, which is a week I'm suposed to be taking off for vacation. The last one from May 2008 got pushed back to 7/31/08. Now I have to go exactly 3 years and 1 day later. They must have me on some kind of list to call every 3 years. This is the 3rd time in less than 10 years and 4th time overall for me.
The last 2 times I was picked and then dismissed when they questioned the group of us. Once because a hospital was being sued and I used to work for one and the other time because the prosecutor knew my dad, who's a defense attorney. The first time I had jury duty, they never called my group in and I was sent home.

You can get one automatic postponement from the Commissioner of Jurors. There should be a section on your jury summons that you can fill out and send back. |

I think I'll just go on 8/1. Summer is pretty slow for me at work and my boss has no problem with me taking a day off for JD. If I postpone it, I could get stuck with a day that's worse schedule wise. |
