What happens if you ignore a jury summons?
Good news! You get paid for jury duty. Most of the time, you show up, and they send you right home. In this jurisdiction, you get $25 a day just for that. If you stay all day, even just waiting to be interviewed, you get more. Plus, if you tell the clerk you don't have the cash to ride the bus everyday all week, s/he'll give you a bus pass. Also, the school has to let you make up assignments and/or tests. Just bring in the summons. So, now's your chance to skip a few classes and read that long book you haven't had the time for, and get paid a little for it. All while doing your civic duty. :) PS: If you read this too late and you've already skipped Monday, just show up Tuesday and tell them (if asked) your alarm didn't go off, or you hit the wrong date key in your planner, or whatever. They'll forgive you one day.
What happens if you miss your summons for jury duty in illinois?
I was summoned for jury duty back in march or april and I honestly know nothing about it and I have school and work so I didn't fill the paper out and send it back in. I was told my some that they can have a warrant for your arrest if you don't send the paper in? I am extremely worried now but I don't know what the laws are in illinois regarding it and this is the first time I've been summoned, anyone know anything more about this? Also-I payed a fine for a speeding ticket at the court house in august, would it have come up on my file if there were a warrant out for my arrest?

If you don't call to explain, asap, they'll issue a warrant for your arrest and bring you in.
Jury summons, I missed it?
And its my second time (last year) Nothing happened to me though. I had a Jury Summons, reporting date on the 22 of this month. However, I was very busy with school and work I forgot. I seriously forgot and just read, "Failure to obey this summons may be punishable under Nevada law." Important notice, upon receipt of your summon you must call "so and so" to confirm your scheduled date. So my question is now what can or will happen if something bad happens? I'm very stressed with school plus work that I can't attend. And what is Jury summons? I never been to one before how do they know where I live? :S Any input is appreciated.
I have forgot to go to my jury duty. What will happen? It was yesterday so will it be wise to call them today?
Oh, yes, right away - they get much more irritated if you don't. If you want, you can prepare the family emergency background, but you don't need to. Call the number on the jury summons today, say you missed the jury call yesterday because of a family emergency and need to be rescheduled. It is routine in Dallas County although I have only done it in advance when I was going to be out of town on the call date.
