I'm in my mid-30, been a registered voter for going on 20 years (oh god), and never once received a jury summons.

I know people who get one like every year and when I tell them my situation they're always like "what???"

I really would love to be on one at least once. That seems like one of the most powerful positions an average citizen can ever hold. You are fully sanctioned by the court and society to say "nah, fuck that cop, he's lying. Non guilty for the defendant!" And actually stop bad stuff. (Not to get too libbed up here, but it is kinda cool)

I just got a summons for the first time not too long ago, but they dismissed me by text message the night before I was set to go.
