honestly, if possible!
I really learned a lot from my experiences on jury duty, and enjoyed it as a learning experience, but it didn't cause a hardship in my life at the time. I've been called several times, but I've only gone twice, and got picked for the jury both times.
I say accept it when it comes at a more convenient time in your life!
Here, (I don't know if the laws are the same all over the U.S., or if they vary by State, County, etc.) I'm pretty sure you can get out of it just by being an enrolled college student (seems like I used that excuse at least once) and also if you have a child under the age of 10 in your primary care that would be left unattended if you served (used that one several times). There are other excuses as well, but I can't remember them all!
