marcusmarcusrcI was somewhat surprised to see a jury duty summons in my mail today. But I had my little sheet attesting to the fact that I served this year already, so I thought I was all set.
Until I was partway through filling out the form, and realized that it was a federal jury duty summons. And you need at least five days of state jury service to be exempt, and I only have three... Anyways, I'm going to be postponing until late summer/early fall so it won't interfere with the thesis, because I hear that federal jury duty can be somewhat onerous (not one day/one trial like Massachusetts state jury).
Edit: For federal jury duty you have to be on call for 15 days, though "usually" you only get called in once...
