Or Google you.But someone would have to look for it rather than specifically saying it in front of those in the courtroom.

Which again means you have to actively do something versus it being directly provided.Or Google you.
Well, you would have to be in the courtroom to hear it, or look up the transcript of the court action, so yes.Which again means you have to actively do something versus it being directly provided.

Can I assume you are still paid your salary when you're serving jury duty?I love jury duty.
I have yet to get selected for a jury but I am always excited when the notice comes in the mail.
Is being over 70 not enough to get out of it? It is in MA.I received a notice for jury duty a couple of years ago. It was just as things were starting up again after lockdowns. I’m in my seventies, was barely leaving the house and trying not to get Covid. I’m on lots of medications, including BP meds and a diuretic and would have found it difficult to not be near a bathroom. (I know, TMI). I got a printout of my medications and I wrote a letter, included the printout and asked to be excused on medical grounds, and it was granted. My daughter served on a jury years ago, for a serious trial, and it was weeks. She brought her young children over every day for us to look after. (Same city as Prairie Girl).
I don't believe it should be public information. Just like I don't care what the defendants name is because it does not matter to the case or the outcome. I should be deciding on the facts. My name, address, my children's names ... have nothing to do with the case and should not be public.You realize that is all public information?
Depending on the case your address, your children's school, your, your spouse and children's professions, etc could matter.I don't believe it should be public information.

Maybe, maybe not in CA. Just being over 70 isn't enough, you have to have other reasons.Is being over 70 not enough to get out of it? It is in MA.
And depending on the case giving out that information could put my family in jeopardy. Like I live in a place where there are some HUGE cases coming up this year where witness intimidation is already happening. Jury tampering is on the horizon.Depending on the case your address, your children's school, your, your spouse and children's professions, etc could matter.
That is how it is where I am you call in the night before and if your number is called and you go in even if there are no cases or you are not selected to serve on a jury you are good for 3 years. If your number is not called or court is cancelled due to weather you can get selected for jury duty again anytime. My DM recently got a summons but she is over 70 and put in for the permanent exemption which got approved.That sounds crazy to me. In my state you're given a day to come in. You can reschedule if it doesn't work for you. As long as you go in, that counts as your service for 3 years (if you're chosen for a jury you need to serve as long as it lasts).
I was called this year and rescheduled to the last day before Thanksgiving break. They didn't need anyone that day and canceled the night before, so I didn't have to go in. But that doesn't count as serving, so I can be called again within three years.
We are taken out of the pool for 3 years.For those who were screened, but dismissed for whatever reason - were you done after that and didn't have to call or show up again during that time period?
If you are called and show but don't serve on the jury you are excused for a year. If you serve on a jury you are excused for 2 years.For those who were screened, but dismissed for whatever reason - were you done after that and didn't have to call or show up again during that time period?
