Have you recieved a summons (letter) either from your municpality or another in which you’re selected to be a juror (If so, what is the process like?). You show up to the courts and assigned a number along with being asked about occupation, status, etc. but is the probability even that high on becoming part of the 12 jurors? Also, is it considered a criminal offense for failing to appear?

I was in the electoral roll for more than thirty years before I was chosen for jury duty. The trial lasted for a week. It was eye-opening. I'd even go so far as to say that I had fun.

My wife received her call-up soon after she became a citizen. She's done it twice.
