You must appear on the scheduled date and time; failure to do so constitutes contempt of court and a warrant can be placed for your arrest.

Jury duty is not voluntary, you have no right to refuse to appear and can be jailed for failure to do so.

Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can e-mail me for more information about low cost face-to-face, on-line, or a telephone consultation with a lawyer in our office.
