Random choice from the active voter roles gets you called in. Then there is a selection process involving the attorneys and judge. I have been a registered voter since 1989 and have never been called for jury duty. I'm willing but not asked. It's important that there is a definite formula, such as every 8,129th name on the list. Anything else could lend itself to manipulation. Even if you are called for jury service, don't get too excited. I was once called ages ago. As a gang of 5 young men was going to be tried (and all can object to jurors) a large number of people were called, but in the end they all members pleaded guilty to lesser charges (plea bargaining).
