I honestly forgot about mine about six months ago. I showed up to a packed courtroom about 10 minutes late and apologized. The baliff at the door said, "No problem. We have plenty. You're excused".
Was kind of wanting to witness the judicial process and get a few days off of work.

Id hate to not pay my bills and lose customers. I don't blame you, but I don't think you'll lose any customers. And if one week will break you, well, that ain't good.

Yep, it'd be a damn shame if you were on trial one day and the only jurors that could be found were ones that didn't have jobs. I'd rather have a jury of my peers, not the dregs of society.

Governor Riley signed a law into effect that requires employers to pay for time missed to serve for jury duty. It is supposed to pay the difference in what you're paid to serve and what you would be paid for a normal 40 hours work week. You won't get paid for missed overtime, and you're screwed if you're self-employed or have side jobs. I'm 99% sure of this, because we had to start paying folks here. Maybe Doekiller or someone will chime in that can verify.
I didn't mean financially. I'm salary and will get same pay check. Work will just fall apart. Heaven forbid you get on some multi month OJ Simpson type trial

Tell them that and ask to be excused. Maybe set a time to serve during an off time. I've done both and enjoyed my times serving. Very informative.

Last one I was excused, but had to wait to see if they called me to sit on a grand jury. They didn't, but one of the names they called was of a gentleman that had to be 80 with dementia...scared me to think he would be sitting on a grand jury.

I got federal coming up.
I can't be away from work either Good luck with that. Federal jury duty you will have to show up. They rarely give excuses. Now, many times with federal jury duty you will get a call the week before telling you that all the cases settled and you are not needed. Very few cases get tried in federal court these days.

The reason about happens in California is because they don't start court until 10:30 every day and take a 2 hour lunch and then start back at 2 and stop at 4. They also on;y have trial 4 days a week.

It isn't as easy to get out of jury duty in most jurisdictions anymore. I have a jury out right now in a case. There were 5 doctors on my panel and not one of them got out of jury service until they were cut when we struck our jury. I had executives with Alagasco, Alabama Power and the CEO of Grandview Hospital on the panel we choose from. None of those people wanted to be there. But, not a one of them was excused. Now, only one of them made my jury. Most of the time, if you are struck form a jury panel on Monday, you are excused for the rest of the week. Yeah, check that...I wasn't excused...I was struck from the panel (and excused).
The harder I practice, the luckier I get.

Last time I was selected the judge asked everyone if it would create a hardship for anybody if selected. One idiot said he had better things to do than sit in a courtroom. The judge didn't like that answer buy let him off anyway
Two roads diverged in the woods and I took the one with deep ruts,hills and mud.It may be bumpy but WHAT A RIDE!
