Jury Duty!

[chicken]

Oh boy, I just got a jury duty summons. ?!?

If I get picked the trial extends past the date I become a Massachusetts resident, what happens then? Would I suddenly become an ineligible juror?

I hope I don't get picked, because I sure don't want to miss that much work.

Does anyone have any jury stories of their own to tell? Do, tell. :-)

I live inside Route 128; Ayer is way out to the northwest beyond 495. It's not that far from where I work, though, so it's not as if the commute is unusual for me these days. There's a commuter rail station there (which must be close to the courthouse since it's a pretty small town), so in theory I'd have had public transportation there.

I'm not sure what the policy is on where they can summon you.
