You are summoned to jury duty. This means that you receive a jury summons to perform your jury duty.
It is a civil duty and a civil responsibility - and - it is required by law.
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.

I was summoned fur jury duty in a federal case by mail. I had to go to the Federal Courthouse Building, where the jury pool was interviewed. I was selected for the jury, and was also selected as the jury foreperson. It was a federal drug case in which the defendant was found guilty.
You should not just ignore the jury-duty summons, call the court and let them know of your situation.
You are "summoned" for jury duty, and once the jury members are chosen the jury panel is then "empaneled."
