Quoted:
No. All three are independent levels of jurisdiction. When I was at jury duty somebody had gotten a state jury duty and shortly there after a county jury duty. The judge explained the independent jurisdictions. As explained to the fellow by the judge, "Just because you got a summons for jury duty on the municipal level does not prevent you from receiving a summons on a county, state or federal level. You will however not be summoned again for the (insert period of time here) for the county if you do get chosen as a sitting juror. Just because you received a summons and you arrived here will not excuse you from another summons."
It just seems odd that I popped up on all three of their lists within such a short time period.
Municipal court.....got there, sat for about 30 minutes, they announced that everyone was released for the day since no one requested a jury and they didn't need us, "thank you for coming and please get in this line to collect your $6."
County court....got there, signed in, signed in, signed in again and showed id. Sat for about 3 hours, until just before lunch, they came in announced that they had made their jury selections for the day.
Haven't done the Fed court yet.
