Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Pennsylvania
Jury Duty Question
I live in Lancaster Co. I received a juror questionnaire form from Philadelphia Pa, which is about 2 hours away. Will I be required to attend jury duty in another county from where I reside?

If it is from federal court, you may. The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania's jury pool includes nine counties: Berks, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Lancaster, Lehigh, Montgomery, Northampton and Philadelphia. Some trials are held in Reading. Frequently Asked Questions are at http://www.paed.uscourts.gov/us11000.asp#Juror.

You should not be. There should be somewhere on the Philadelphia Jury questionnaire to indicate that you do not leave in the jurisdiction.
