Call and check with the jury commissioner. I don't think you are eligible if you don't reside in the county.Quote:

Unfortunately for many of them, they find out that there is no real due process for a finding of contempt. No conviction needed for 5 days in jail and a $1000 fine.
I don't mind it though. I've asked for postponement a couple of times. Once was granted and the other was just excused. I've been summoned 5 times and have yet to even make it to the selection process and see the judge and attorneys. They always find enough jurors before they get to me.
I've shown many times, been selected twice, served to completion once.
It's the best and the worst aspects of our judicial system in one giant legal lasagne.
