Question: If they call me to serve, do I have to answer?

Answer: Yes, all qualified citizens have an obligation to serve on juries when summoned unless they are excused for some special reason or are granted a postponement. In fact, failure to respond and report for jury service may subject you to punishment. Being on a jury can be a rich and rewarding experience. It is a right not available in all countries and is your civic duty. As a juror, you will decide the facts of a case. The judge may change your decision only in very limited circumstances (ARS §21-202 and §21-334).
