When I was summoned, there was a pretty large crowd in the court room. Judge asked everyone that had a valid excuse to not serve to come up individually and explain. About half the people there, one by one, came up and he recorded who they were and excused them no questions asked or debate. When that was done, he explained to the ones that stayed there were no jury cases that week and we had filled our obligation and were dismissed. He said for the ones that left, they would be re-summoned in the next few months. We got a good laugh out of that.
