Oh yea, here in cali they get you first by voter rolls(registration) and driver license, or state ID. im not sure about utility bills, or other kinds id, but thats what i heard. aLSO, noticed those that were in JD before is more likely to be called in the future. thats why i alot of people think its not-partially random. and also how recently you voted too. note, it almost happen in 6months of voting in any election, while people i know that dint vote, or registered gets one every few years of JD. and some people never get Summons at all. like if you go to any other "fourm/site talking about JD.

Hold the fuck up. Am I getting this right?
You have to register to be able to vote. If you register, you might have to work in court, losing out on pay. You don’t get any compensation for that. The lost pay can ruin you financially.
What the fuck?

Some states dont pay you on the first, day even if they do its like less 5-15/day if your selected. and federal court might pay you more , and this is seperate from your cities JD, so some people have gotten both JD summons in one year. and Commuting by car is partially reimbursed, lol. i do hear alot of people skip JD, but most are dismissed anyways.
