I think that is a misnomer, I beleive you can be called regardless.

Yeah, I know, but it helps ease the shame of not voting.

Once. I was called to a historic courthouse in Gettysburg, PA even though I no longer lived in that County. I was excited about it...I actually WANTED to serve because law has always interested me. I wanted to be a lawyer and even sat in on some law classes at Gettysburg College when I was about 13 or 14. Then, I considered the 6 years of school and massive debt, and went into Accounting instead.

I wore a tie and tried to get on...I was one of the first dismissed while rednecks literally covered in oil from working on cars before coming in were selected.

I guess I looked like I knew too much. :D

Funny you mention that because that's EXACTLY what her friend said was the case. The nicer you dress, the less likely you were to get picked. In most cases, a jury of your peers isn't people in business suits.

I found this interesting(tweet related to CBA mediation):

And another labor committee member, John Mara of the Giants, is doing jury duty now and won't be here today, either.

I was young then, 22 I think...thought it would work.

Now I know.

That's my hometown, sounds about right :)

TMC - I'd place a call to the local courthouse's court clerk and let them know. I imagine that the different lists they are using are resulting in frequency of calls, and if they are not updating their system, they could be missing taking your name off. In the State of Maryland, you are exempt for 3 years between services.
