I've also seen that I can apply for a postponement. I may go that route.

The best way to get out of jury duty is to call in and tell them you’ve had the Ubeja Vontells all night long.

I always just tell them I have an issue w/how the law is written. They will excuse you.
Seems I always got selected when I was self employed and every hour counted. As an employee, it's a paid day off... |

Pretty sure it depends on your system. Up here we are notified by the pony express.

Hopefully it’s Monday and you can take your jury buddy fat Andy with you. Tell them he is your service walrus.

They don't actually make the selections until the day before (cases can be settled up until the last minute), so no, there's no way to know if you have to report except by calling the number.
You can ask for postponement, but just be very careful if you go that route. It's possible that, by playing that card now, they'll refuse to let you out of it next time no matter what. You don't want to miss something really important in the future because you felt a little busy right now. |

I'm in the middle of a jury duty cycle right now (in my county you are on call for 4 weeks). I have avoided it 2 of the 4 weeks so far. I've heard that if you want to get out of it that you're supposed to tell the judge that you're physically attracted to one of the people involved...lol.

I am curious. I own my own business, and if I am selected for Jury Duty that went to trial it will literally cost me thousands of dollars in lost business.
If I said,"Since you are costing me thousands, I am going to vote the opposite of the other jurors no matter what.", what would happen to me? |

I looked on Missouri Case Net and saw at least 2 trials scheduled for Monday. Not sure if that actually has any meaning or not. |

Pro tip: If you are questioned by the legal teams, always answer truthfully. And try to slip in there somehow that you always vote no to all the judges in an election.
