Have you been summoned for the end of March too?

Sort of but it depends what case I get on, I think I could just have finished when you start.

This morning I received a summons from Her Majesty's Court requesting my presence for Jury Service at Burnley Crown Court at the end of March!
I hope it's not any of you lot.....I wouldn't want to meet an Accywebber under such circumstances!

OMG how spooky is that ( I had a premonition, I saw you on jury service lilly )
Please can you ask them to send me one through when you go

Re: Jury Service??
Received a phone call today from Burnley Crown Court saying I'm not needed in March and would I defer until May which I agreed to. This is what happened the last time I was called up and they forgot about me for 7 years.

Re: Jury Service??
Well I'm glad I never have and I don't want to. I don't want to make a decision on what is often flimsy evidence but could be evidence that would if taken into account convict a guilty party. I worry about other people far too much.

Re: Jury Service??
Well guys. I have to report to Burnley Crown Court for jury service tomorrow so wish me luck.
I'm a little bit nervous but only because it's something I've never done before. I'm also looking forward to the experience.
I just hope I actually get to sit on a case and don't just spend the day hanging about.
I'll let you know how I get on.

Don't think you'll get a busy day tomorrow, most of them are for sentencing
