I got called for jury duty during football season. I have to call on Monday to see if I have to report. Anyone have this before? About ten years ago I got called the judge let me go bc it was football season. I do not know if I will be so lucky this time!

You may be able to "defer" your duty for 6 months. I have heard of people having that option, but have never had any direct experience with it. It may also depend upon the availability of jurors in your area...
Good Luck!

I had the same thing happen, it was scheduled for the 1st day of practice. I called the previous week and explained that I was a football coach and practice started the day of jury duty. At first they were a little hesitant and said it didn't matter what line of work I was in, and then I asked to speak to someone else and explained I was the OC and it was pretty important I be there and they ended up letting me out of it.

MY advice on this is act like a beauracrat. "sorry I forgot..." And after the fact....just call them tell that you forgot. Most of the time your name just goes back into the hat.

Around here it is pretty standard: get a letter from you admin on letter head and they will reschedule you for summer (since everybody knows we don't work all summer;-))

I asked for a deferment. I said that I was a teacher and coach and that the school year was really rough for me but then mentioned that I taught Government and really did want to do my duty but that it would be much better for me and my 120 students if it could be done in the summer.
Haven't gotten called for the summer yet. =(
