You are summoned to jury duty. This means that you receive a jury summons to perform your jury duty.
If you are summoned for jury duty you WILL have to respond and report. IF you are selected for a jury panel, the attorneys for both sides will conduct questioning of the prospective jurors they will select for service on their jury (Voire Dire) and among the questions asked will probably be whether or not you've ever been convicted of an offense, or not. Answer truthfully or you could be charged with perjury. If you have been convicted they will probably excuse you from serving on the jury.
You cannot volunteer for jury duty - your name is picked at random.

Well my boyfriend is going through that now... he got subpoened to go to court and when he went the judge told him he would have to go to jury duty the following monday and stay there for 8 hours even if he was the only one in the courtroom and then he has to write a 2 page essay on the importance of jury duty and read it to the court and if he doesn't do that he will have to serve 30 days in the county jail... my advice go to your jury duty....... I told him the same thing and look at what he is going through now... The judge can enter a bench warrant to arrest the individual. Then they can impose fines or even jail time. The above is an excellent example of what can happen!
I have Aspergers and I have jury duty in a couple weeks.
You are "summoned" for jury duty, and once the jury members are chosen the jury panel is then "empaneled."
It sounds like an error. You should have brought your prior jury duty to the clerk's attention. It would have been easy enough to check. Usually you aren't eligible to be re-called for jury duty but once every several years.
The duration of Jury Duty - film - is 1.47 hours.
