What happened to just NOT going? I am pretty sure I have done it at least once when I was a freelancer and got paid only when I was at work. Then, when I was on staff, I got called and went because I got paid for going on Jury Duty and figured I sh ould just get it over with. It didn't make it any less annoying but at least I wasn't loosing money. I also ended up going in the summer which I have been repeatedly told is the slowest time in courts. I was there for a day, never got called, got my card stamped and was excused for 4 years.
You can ignore it but be prepared for either a fine or even jail time. Depending on what state you live in you will either get a fine or go to jail because it is against the law to SKIP jury duty.
I am pretty sure you need to ignore the notice more than once to get fined or get jail time.
Actually I ignored just the questionnaire and they sent me a letter stated if I didn't come down to the courts there would be a warrant out for my arrest. It was a total PIA. All they had me do was hand in my questionnaire. After waiting there for a few hours. Never again I will always fill them out!

My office is 2 people on staff, I think if it is under 10 people, I do not get paid, period. I just get paid by the state, in 4-6 weeks, there lousy 40.00 a day. Happy New year to me. By the way my # is under 100. This just STINKS!
I got the $40 within 2 weeks.
I got called in October, went on a Friday, got pulled into 1 room, then sent back out and finished 2 books and got sent home at one pm
