When they ask you for "proof" as to your mental state of mind, just direct them to TCS..

Never heard of anyone going there!

I got called for jury duty one month after my 18th birthday. I was in college and excited till I saw that it was for SIX months!!!!! I told my mom about it and luckily they gave me a break because I was an hour away at college!

A month won't be bad. If you aren't in school you will be compensated for your time from work.

You could provide even more proof that you're a crazy cat lady, when you direct them to TCS, and they see all the pics of your furbabies in your posts..


Or, when you go in for the selection process, don't brush off all the cat fuzz off your clothes. You probably won't need anymore proof than that..

I guess I'm lucky. I work in the courthouse so they can never call me for jury duty. All I can say is I've worked on some cases that have lasted 4 days and it's not easy sitting there hour after hour. I do have work to do while the case is going on but there are down times when it's all I can do to stiffle a yawn and God forbid if I have to use the bathroom! I prefer the normal court days that have multiple cases in one day.

Good luck if you are picked to go. I'm sure it will be quite the experience.

Interesting. So, how did the summons look? The same as the county one or totally government official looking?
Sometimes federal trials go on for many months at a time.
Seriously, MOST of them are sooo worthless like the drug cases.

Ive been called to jury duty a couple times! The last one was for a molestation/murder case, but they dismissed me because of some stuff that happened when I was younger, saying that I was biased! And I should be darnit! That guy raped a little girl, when the mom came in and found it he killed her! I wanted him to get the chair....

Yeah, I still remember the first time being called for jury duty (county). I had just turned 18. Back then I was sporting a black mohawk and still wearing punk rock attire. LOL I was the first to be dismissed!

The summons looks very official with a seal and everything. I'm not sure what US District Court tries as far as what kind of crimes.

They usually extend from extortion to drug cartel cases....and many are terrorists related cases as well. Alot of the times the feds will make a worthless little case into something they think is big.

They may not let you take the cross stitch needle. I took crochet to work on - I had to give up my hooks at security. Guess I was gonna debrain someone like the Egyptians did

Good call! Maybe I'll just bring a book. I'll set off the metal detecters anyway, with my hip, LOL.
