Most people summoned for jury duty typically have to report for one day or until they are selected for a trial. If selected, they may serve for the duration of the trial, which can range from a few days to several weeks, depending on the case. If not selected, they are usually dismissed after the first day. However, specific policies can vary by jurisdiction.

The jury duty list is generally taken from the list of persons who have drivers licenses throughout the state. It had been the practice many years ago that only persons owning land would be selected but this was abolished as being unfair to persons not owning property, because they would have persons perhaps not in their social class judging them. Later, the jury lists were taken from voter registration records, but this was also abolished in virtually all jurisdictions, because people could avoid jury duty by simply not voting. This was a double dereliction of civic responsibility. If you have never been called for duty but want to serve, you can contact the local or state jury commission to volunteer to be put into the general pool of people to be called at random.
