How often can you be called for Jury Service?

Question

Just wondering because a friend has now been called for the fifth time!

Answer 1

Contrary to popular opinion your friend doesn't have to attend. Simply inform the CPS or Fiscal that you have a hatred of the police and would be unable to give a balanced decision regardless of the evidence.

It certainly worked for me.

Answer 2

your friend is lucky, I'm in the UK and i would love to do it but i only know 2 people who have done it, i even phoned some-one up in london to complain and they told me that is is done randomly from the voting register yet it cant be coz the only people i know who have done it are from white middle class areas, i don't know any one off a council housing estate that has done it

Answer 3

Most states automatically disqualify jurors who served within the last year. Otherwise, there's no limit.

Answer 4

As often as they call you. There is no limit.  It is sort of like the lottery, except it may not ge viewed as lucky!

Answer 5

Most states will only call you once per year if you have served. If you are summoned again during that year, you can normally be excused.
