Was recently scheduled to appear, confirmed that I would be able to serve, then tested positive for covid 1 day before it started. They made me call the merjury phone number every day, saying “you probably won’t be picked since your number is so high in the jury pool”. In the end I wasn’t picked, which was good since apparently being rescheduled at last minute is a hassle. Check your jury pool #, if it’s high enough then it’s possible you won’t get picked at all in the initial selection process.

Good to know. How do you check your jury pool number?

It’s on the official summons (green card) they sent you

Thanks, found it. My # is over 1700, hopefully that’s high enough

Oh yeah that’s a great#, they probably won’t even get to you in their screening/selection process. Mine was in the 900’s and they had their jury selected relatively quick.

Oh wow. I won’t bother rescheduling then. I’m surprised they make the pools go that high and then dismiss all the extra people instead of carrying it over to the next trial.
