On top of that, you are also tasked with a few responsibilities that — let's face it — aren't everyone's favorites. Taxes are needed to keep the country running, but does anyone really enjoy paying them? In that same vein, the courts are a necessary function of the U.S.

According to the official website of New York Jurors, "Jury duty, like paying taxes, is mandatory. Skipping jury duty can result in civil or criminal penalties. In addition, anyone who skips jury service will be assigned a new date for future jury service." These penalties vary from state to state, but almost all seem to include monetary fines as well as additional juror time.

If you end up serving out your summons, the penalty can be reduced to $50," per Chiozza Law.Article continues below advertisement States like California make it even clearer about what happens to an individual who doesn't appear for jury duty.

If you have any questions about your eligibility to serve as a juror, the best bet is to call your local county court and see what steps are needed to submit a request to be removed from jury duty for any of the aforementioned reasons. Otherwise, the criminal and civil charges seem largely, by design, to outweigh the burden of being a juror.AdvertisementMore from Distractify TikToker’s "Hack" for Getting Out of Jury Duty Goes Viral, Ruffles Some Feathers Woman Refuses to Serve Jury Duty Because Roe v.
