Question on DU Jury Service:

What do I do if I feel I don't know enough about the issue to fairly render judgment? If I click on "Cancel Jury Service." will that remove me from jury service permanently or just for the case before me?

I'm pretty sure it's just a one-off. I do believe I've cancelled once or twice in the past, but still get notices. nt LAS14 Nov 19 #2

At least it hasn’t in my case. I tend to leave decisions on some topics to others, especially those involving Israel and Gaza.

you will still be signed up as a potential juror. To change this you will need to go to account settings and change it there.
