I've been called a few times, in San Francisco and where I now live. I did serve on two juries in San Francisco. But here, I've never even gone down to the courthouse. I simply get a notice, a group number and instructions to call a certain number every day and check whether my group was called. It never is.
I've heard that, in California, it's voter registration that they use to find you. Any Californians out there called for jury duty who were _not_ registered to vote at the time?
I had a friend who was almost called for _federal_ jury duty, and that is a ticket you don't really want to get. Some of those federal cases, especially the civil ones, last a long, long time. Fortunately, they turned out not to need him.
