Sounds like you are going to be part of a grand jury.

Karl, I've done duty from here in Truro to Barbstable, but Falmouth, I'd rather drive to Boston. It's like when I have to work in Chatham. It suks, there's no easy way to get to Chatham or Falmouth. I call in dead for jury duty.

Federal grand jury generally meets every Friday for 18 months. 30 day jury duty is being on call in the trial pool I would bet. Sorry to hear this. New a lady who was 77 at the time did grand jury in Boston for the es. ntire 18 months, taking the train into south station every day. I haven't had it in a long time. Knock on wood. |

I had duty last month. Was called for Rozbury District Court in Dudley Square. I did not reschedule, or relocate. My family gave me the "What? Are you crazy of something?" and I told them that I don't care where I serve, but that I can serve as my civic duty.
Bottom line: there were 26-28 cases pending for the day and all but one settled thru a plea deal. The last one was held over for a later date. We got out by 3:00 and I met some truly interesting people as well!
Back in the 80's when I got called the first time, I spend one whole month (I think it was either June or August) having to report to the "pool". I was called for 2 cases and was foreman on the first one.
All I can say is that it sure beats the heck out of the TV court room dramas when you're actually sitting in a court room listening to the proceedings!
