What if I simply don't want to participate in Jury Duty?

You were randomly selected for Jury Service from the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles list of licensed drivers and ID holders. The right to a trial by jury is a fundamental American principle guaranteed by the Constitution. It is the duty of every citizen to serve when called upon to do so. "Failure to appear" may render you liable to arrest and a fine of up to $100 for contempt of court. (§40.23, F.S.). Receipt of this summons by any person residing in your household is service upon you.
