          We are in Florida for the winter and I just got a jury duty summons. What do you do if you get called for jury duty in your home jurisdiction?

              Welcome, Betty! It’s impossible for us to give a definitive answer as your options will depend on your jurisdiction. That said, most jurisdictions allow you to request a postponement or deferral if you cannot serve on the date specified. Check the summons for instructions on how to request a postponement (if possible). Many courts allow this to be done online or via phone.

              Hope this helps!

                  If you’re over a certain age, where I’m from its 65, you don’t have to do jury duty at all. Just an FYI.
