I had jury duty on Tuesday in Los Angeles, and someone asked this same question.\n\nIf you do not respond to your first mail summons, you will receive 2-3 more summons by mail.\n\nIf you do not respond to those, you will get a legal summons.\n\nIf you do not respond to that, you will get a fine.\n\nIf you do not pay the fine, it will show up on your credit report.\n\nAnd you will still have to show up for jury duty.

Absentee ballots are often tossed.  Make sure you call to see if your vote was counted.

You will need to go to the court house

If you do not appear, Kentucky will issue a warrant for your arrest. It will only be valid in Kentucky, but other States could find out about the warrant. It is best to attend your court date and resolve your problem.

Look at the summons you received. There should be info on it about how to contact them in the event that you are unable to serve or no longer reside in that state.

Don't worry I got a letter to be on jury duty while I was in JAIL!!! LOL So my mom sent the letter back and told them that. \n\nThe next year I got another one and went to it. It was for a DWI case, well I had 2 DWI's and of course they didn't pick me. \n\nJust because you get summoned to go doesn't mean your going to be on it. They summoned around 20-30 people on mine and only 8 or 12 actually was on the jury duty for the case. 8 I'm leaning toward. \n\nSo go and just say you agree with what the person did and you won't have to serve!!! :)

It depends on why you are there. If you are there because the state vs. you then you then a bench warrant could be issued for your arrest. Same thing goes if you are on jury duty or if you have been subpoenaed. If you are there just watching, then notthing. You can leave if you want.

Contact the court clerks office with your information. There's a small fee involved in processing it again.

If you fail to appear on a subpoena a judge may issue a warrant, however it would only be issued within jurisdictional limits usually the county where the hearing is being held. If you never return to the state of Florida you should have nothing to worry about. I would suggest that you fax a signed wavier to the Judge in the county where the hearing is being held and a cover letter explaining your situation.

If you have a lawyer to represent you then technically you do not have to appear, but the lawyer cannot say that you should not appear.  If he is the defendant in whatever case it is there is no reason why he cannot appear.

Don't. It is your civic duty. Some employers even pay you your regular pay while your gone. That means you could get a little mini paid vacation. Even if not you shouldn't try to get out of it.\n\nIf you have a legit. reason not to participate in jury duty, that reason alone should be enough to get you off. ex: If you know one of the parties personally. If that is the case you can not be a part of the jury because you would not be impartial.

If you have been notified by subpoena or summons you have to appear in court. If you do not appear then you are in contempt and a bench warrant may be issued for your arrest - this is not a good thing.\n\nA defendent has the right to face his accuser in a timely manner and in good faith. The prosecutor will likely make the case on your behalf, but counsel for the defendent has the right to cross-examine you on evidence that you provide.\n\nUnless the prosecutor decides not to proceed because it is not in the public interest, or there is little likelihood of conviction, you need to go to court.  \n\nIf I were you, and felt the way that you say you do, I would call up the prosecutor's office (the DA) and tell them how you feel.

just one more thing ... even if the cop does show up , plead not guilty, and the cop will most likely pull you aside before the  hearing and   give you a  plea bargain to a lesser charge - as long as you are respectful, and did not give him/ her a hard time when you got the ticket...trust me ... I know ....

You can't. But , if you can't remember if you went to your last court date or not then call the lawyer that you hired (retained) to defend you or public attorney that was appointed to your case and ask him or her to find out for you.

You are to be a witness,  a grand jury will question you about what you know,  you are required to answer them unless you are involved in the crime you are testifing about.\n( and if they give you imunity, you are still required to testify)

The police will probably give you a "breathalizer" test to check if you have alcohol in your system. As you contend, you didn't actually drink, but was just holding an open beer can. You'll probably be ticketed and be asked to appear with your guardian before a Judge. This may just be a misdemeanor since you didn't actually drink but were just playing a prank.

A warrant could be issued on you for failure to appear
