<p>What do I do if I get a jury duty summons? (At my house in the bay area and I'm over here at UCSD)...</p>
<p>First off is it even possible for me to get a summons? (I have a CA state license, put I'm not registered to vote) Am I out of the clear or has the county courts gotten wise and closed this loophole so whoever has a license needs to vote?</p>
<p>You pay attention to the turn around time, then ask to defer it to a date when you can be home. My daughter had to do this and she goes to school in N.C. (where she is registered to vote). Oh, and she did not pay attention to the turn around time.</p>
<p>The list is made up from drivers license and/or voter reg.You don’t have to vote, but you do have to do jury duty if you get summoned.</p>
<p>If you are a student, you might be excused. Check the notice to be sure. You have to write to the judge or report to the court, though. That may not be true in CA, however.</p>
<p>Not true in California.</p>
<p>Actually it is…depending on the county. I heard San Diego county doesn’t let students get out of Jury Duty, but Santa Clara county definitely does.</p>
<p>Oh, okay. I’ve not seen that before.</p>
<p>I just read that if you fill out that you are not a resident of the county you can be waived… obviously this’ll apply to me as I’m living all the way in socal in a dorm. :)</p>
<p>I’m registered to vote in Santa Barbara county but is there any way to register to vote in San Diego county? I know a lot of people don’t care what county they’re voting in but it is important to me that I vote in San Diego. However, for the first year or two I won’t technically have a permanent address (on-campus housing), so how does this work?</p>
<p>Here is a previous thread from the parents forum. </p>
<p>From a San Diego parent</p>
<p>"This just happened to my D. The summons specifically states that full-time students are obliged to serve. My D wrote the excuse on it anyway since she attends college over 100 miles away and plans to work an internship in the summer out of state. They didn’t care - they rejected that and said she has to serve anyway. My D’s now going to have a real fun spring break down at the courthouse.</p>
<p>My other D had the same thing happen and also spent her spring break at the courthouse. She said there were lots of students there since they all postponed to spring break due to busy and already planned summers."</p>

<p>For the most part, kids can register to vote where they go to school, being a student does not exempt you ( except apparently in Santa Clara, although the Santa Clara county website does not say that), and you are supposed to be a juror SOMEWHERE. It seems to make sense to be pro-active about that. </p>
<p>And remember also, that almost no one WANTS to do it, doing it as a student is no less convenient than it will be at most stages of your life, it’s supposed to be GOOD thing, at least in the big picture, and when you “get out of it”, someone else will be called upon.</p>
<p>Still researching…(we are nearby…and “they” are running some commercial where we are supposed to take students seriously… )…So in Santa Clara, the jury consists of no students, and others, or others who couldn’t get out of jury duty…hmmm…thanks for the heads up…</p>
<p>I received a jury summons last summer in Santa Clara County, and I definitely remember it had something that said if you were a student, you could mail a request to postpone your jury duty service. Apparently nobody believes me, but I definitely remember it.</p>
<p>Absolutely agree about postponing, just not excusing. Sorry if I misunderstood.</p>
<p>You are mandated to postpone your jury duty to (your choice) Christmas break, Spring break, between spring semester and summer school, next summer- you will not get out of jury duty because you go to school away from home.
Lots of UC students come home and serve their week of jury duty sacrificing part of their school break.</p>
<p>I got jury duty for Orange County.</p>
<p>All you have to do is tell then your no longer a residence of Orange County and you go to UCSD.</p>
<p>I got out of jury duty.</p>
<p>I got a notice for a day right at the beginning of the school year and need to postpone this. What happens between December 11th and December 23rd (when Christmas break takes place)? I noticed a gap where the 11th is when the fall quarter ends and then there’s nothing until the 23rd, which is a break. Would that be okay to schedule the postponement?</p>
