CA D just served hers Thanksgiving week. In the past for our others, we were able to say that kid didn’t live locally, send it back and be done, but this one actually does. And it seemed new that they asked for a specific break date to be sent back. She had received a notice to serve in August or Sept (when school had started) and replied the Thanksgiving week as the first break she had that she could serve. She was hoping they would call her then versus winter break or spring break (during senior year) just before graduation. She didn’t get called in on Monday. When we checked her number for Tuesday (good thing we did!) her number was in the range, so she showed up. When everyone from the pool (many many people) were put in the large room, the first thing the judge asked was if there were students in the room and three raised their hands. She had them come up, asked them where they attended, made some nice small talk, thanked them for showing up, and sent them home.

Point is, they won’t be asked to sit on a long jury, they get that is a hardship for students, and it is nice if you can give a date that you know works, so they can get the check mark it is done for that year and typically longer. At least that’s how it worked for my CA D.
