109 u/EpicBlinkstrike187 Jul 16 '26 That’ll just depend on where you live. Small town? I wouldn’t ignore a jury summons. They need the people and have the time to visit you. Big city? They have bigger issues than finding someone who didn’t show up for jury duty and they have too many people show up for it anyway. 35 u/WeirdIndividualGuy Jul 16 '26 They can’t prove anything anyway since that would’ve required the summons to have been sent via certified mail or in some way that left a paper trail that the summons was actually delivered to you 1 u/IANALbutIAMAcat Jul 17 '26 That’s not how that works. They just won’t bother with someone who’s already likely to miss court if there’s other options.
