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.

Yes, you can generally go on jury duty even if you have a misdemeanor on your record.

However, specific rules may vary by state, so it's always best to check the local laws or court instructions.
