I got picked when I was 18 and couldn’t go bc I had plans to be in another country then they basically immediately summoned me again and I went and was dismissed right away

I got a letter calling me for jury duty when I was living abroad and my parents had to explain why I couldn’t be there 😃

Glad I wasn’t picked, it was just some motorcycle that they tried to pull over for speeding and they led them on a chase I think

Does “not getting picked” mean you had to sit for the whole trial but not get to take part in deliberations?

No I didn’t get to see a courtroom. They picked jurors for the cases and towards the end of the day they’d send out groups of us that weren’t needed

Dumb question but do employers usually pay you when you have jury duty? Like free PTO? Bc in that case I’ll lowkey take sitting in a courthouse for hours over after having to do work any day

It depends on the employer. They’re legally required to give you the time off like a free PTO day but pay or not depends on the state or if it’s a benefit of your salary job like mine
