These don't always work. On a recent jury assignment that my brother got, someone in his pool of potential fellow jurors tried something along these lines. He was disqualified by the defense for that case, but the judge who was presiding over the selection told the guy that he wasn't getting out of it that easily, and reassigned him back into the pool for another case.

As for just not showing up, that's an interesting theory, because there really is no way to prove that you received it unless it was sent certified, or if you were served the papers.

It's not theory.

I would imagine that this would only work once, maybe twice at best. I mean what are the chances that you don't get it *every* time. After that, I think they'd catch on. Maybe that's when they start sending it certified?

I think it would be WAY easier to call-in/show-up than to risk the legal nick-nacks the courts or whatever questioning your excuses.

As someone stole my line above, it is your civil duty to serve jury duty. If you don't like it, not showing up is the pansy way out. You are better off moving to a different country if you are not content with the price of our freedoms.
