Curious. Anyone recently fill out questionnaire and if so, did you get summoned to serve? First time for Federal for me.

No, but I just got my first jury duty summons in about 10 years.

My girlfriend recently got one. She filled out the questionnaire last month but hasn't heard anything back yet.

I was summoned by the feds back in 2021, almost made the cut but was sent home after 2 days.

Were they doing questionnaires back then??

Honestly, I don't remember doing one if I did.

Just reply that you'll be glad to serve.

After all, the (defendent) has to be guilty or he/she wouldn't have been arrested and charged.

What do you get for lunch?

Who knows! I'm worried if I get summoned and get selected. I live over two hours from court.

I've done it, here in Orlando. It's a breeze, there wasn't as many people as there was in a county jury call. The place was nicer. A coat and tie were required. You go to every jury call, they didn't call out numbers.

Sorry, I don't remember a questionnaire. I've done jury duty so many times, in Ft Lauderdale, Sanford, and Orlando. I don't remember anything like that at all.

I just had to fill out one of those questionnaires a few months back. My daughter just got summoned last week but she’s a full-time student so was able to get out of it. Actually, there’s a bunch of opt-outs and ways to be excused, if you’re so inclined.

Maybe Feds do different now. I didn't when I served on jury in Lauderdale and just had to call county here in Ohio.

 

[Tony4Canes]

Welp. I received summons. In Cleveland too, so about two hours away.

 

[Tony4Canes]

Welp. Had to fill out another questionnaire so imagine I report on Monday. Fun times.

 

[Tony4Canes]

Reported for Jury Duty. All jurors dismissed. Now trying to find the case. Lol

I figured something was up since we sat around all morning. The Judge gave us an update on the case, defendant wanted to represent self, she said the jury is here for selection, defendant changed mind and decided to get an attorney. Dismissed us all.
