@kolacia_law: JURY SERVICE (Jury Duty) You got the jury summons in the mail and you decide to take the summons and throw it in the trash. What can happen if you fail to appear for Jury duty? Jury Duty is an obligation You must report for jury service Any person who fails to respond may be fined up to $1,500 or incarcerated by the court. In my 18 years of handling jury cases I have seen some judges actually impose fines and hold people in contempt for not showing up for jury duty. So if you have a summons in the mail - please follow the instructions and contact the court if you need help or need to postpone the date. #jury #juryduty #criminaldefenseattorney #court #judge #fines #contempt #legaltips #reels ##lawfirm #california #ie #oc #sanbernardino #riverside #fullerton #lawtok
