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 got a summons once while I was overseas on holiday. The deadline to return the form had passed by the time I got back. I sent in the reply envelope anyway explaining the situation.
That was like a decade ago, and I haven’t had the courts ask after me since.
