Don't talk about the case, or issues raised by the case with anyone, including other jurors, while the trial is going on, and don't let others talk about the case in your presence, even family members. If someone insists on talking to you or another juror about the case, please report the matter to a court employee.
Served By. If service is accomplished by mail, the summons may be served by the U.S. Marshal, clerk, or jury commission. If personal service is required, the summons is served by the U.S. Marshal.
If you have been convicted of a felony when the conviction has not been set aside or a pardon issued. If you are a judge, clerk of a district court, a sheriff, or a jailer. If your spouse has been summoned for the same jury panel. If you or your spouse have a pending jury trial in any court.
Medical conditions, deafness, difficult sitting for long periods, people who know the defendant or officers, people who've been victims of crimes, financial hardship, and more will be excused. Depending on the county, they might call 100 people to select just 12.

If you decide to accept a plea bargain, you will be asked to give up your right to have a jury trial. You may then enter a plea of "guilty" or "no contest. In my experience there is usually a minimum. Lawyers DO NOT walk into a courtroom and pick the jurors they want. That's NOT how it works. I have recently been summoned for jury duty for the 5th time in 5.5 years of Alameda County residency and have two questions: 1. I just got a jury summons and it says I have to call in for a full week to see if I'm needed.
