I was recently sent an interesting piece of mail that I had never seen before in my 33 years of life. Sometime in late August, I got my first potential jury summons!. I have family members, co-workers, and friends who have had to go to a courthouse and appear for jury duty, and to be honest, I was kind of surprised it took this long for me to get a letter like this. I then found out that there are quite a few people I know in their 30s or 40s who have never once been summoned for jury duty. According to YouGov Today, about one-third of Americans have never been summoned for jury duty.
