Topic Wiki

Do your jury duty.

Manhattan Criminal Court:
The boring introductory speech takes about 45 minutes, and should begin relatively on time. Therefore, coming 45 minutes late is no big deal.

If you have a deferment, don't waster your time at the criminal court. Go straight to 60 Centre Street room 139. The line can get busy, so try to come at a good time.

Tuitions statement/bill?
In IL my mom just wrote that I was studying abroad in Israel and never heard anything back. That was over 5 years ago. And I've moved to another state then another state since.

I just throw mine out. Unless they send it via certified mail, they can't prove I received it.

My wife got summoned a year ago with letters saying that if she doesnt go down to the office personally within 10 days she can be arrested. She never went and never responded, nothing happened till now.

I've never been asked, but I'd do it at least once without trying to weasel out of it if the dates worked.

Obviously if I'm traveling or the like I'm not going to miss a trip for it, but otherwise I wouldn't intentionally try to get out of it.

I said the same thing, until I found an easy way to recuse myself during voir dire.
