he courts want to make jury service as manageable as possible for you while still ensuring the availability of jurors for jury trials. One way of doing this is the "one-day or one-trial" system. It works like this: you are summoned and appear at the courthouse at the designated time. If you are not selected for a jury that day, you are excused and have satisfied your obligation for at least a year. If you are selected for a jury, service in that trial satisfies your obligation for at least a year.

I went for selection day Jan. 6th. I got it postponed citing work-related deadlines since they asked "who can't be here? The trial will last about 29 days". I'm like... WTF... I got 8 deadlines within that period... so I got it postponed till March.

They mentioned it's likely to be just as long when/if I get picked then.

Surprised it took them this long to get to me in the first place... and now I find out it only excuses you for 1 year after serving ?

that's strange, trials don't usually last that long. Maybe you'll get Michael Jackson, Kobe Bryant, or Scott Peterson
