You can always say that you never received it, if it's not certified.
as long as you never reply you can get away with that forever

What does that mean?
People who work for the court get paid 40 bucks on top of there regular salary. Meaning they get paid for both. Plus cost of transportation and sometimes less hours. Such as my father was on some sort of panel which had duty every Thursday from 10-4 for many months. He loved it.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Try bribing the judge to get off. That usually works.

It's not hard to prove that you sent a piece of mail. In most circumstances a simple affidavit of mailing will be sufficient for the court to believe it was mailed.

Is proof that it was mailed worth anything ? It could've gotten lost in the mail or gone to the wrong place.

It's a Add On item, once they're on you (for a different crime) they add it to the list

If they can't prove you got it once they can't prove you got it 5 times either. That's what certified/registered mail is for.

I think it is against halacha to go to jury duty ... dont ask you local orthadox rabbi but a rabbi that actually knows Halacha.

Why can't my LOR know Halacha? And if for some reason he doesn't why is he my LOR?

If he knows halacha then he falls into the other category ( of knowing halacha) then fine .

He could have great insight and hashkafa which would make him qualified to be your LOR but lack a deep halachick knowledge ( very common )
