Jury Service
Been called up for jury service two years in a row in Scotland. I am 60 and have never been called up before. I am wondering if it's because of a backlog of cases due to covid and there is more chance of being selected. I was excused from doing it due to being a full time carer.

Difficulty in finding someone without a criminal record?

Re: jury service
If you are still a full time Carer, but the Allowance has been stopped due to you receiving the State Pension, you should tell them ASAP.

I appreciate it is a hassle for some but I do think everyone who possibly can do it, should do it. There are few enough things connecting us to shared civic experience in this country and jury service is a sort of reminder that we’re all connected and owe something to each other. |

I believe it's just a random selection from the electoral roll. I am not even sure if they preclude people with criminal records. You might have to declare it when called upon. It's one of those things were people see patterns when there likely isn't one.
I've been called twice. I hated it the first time and the second time they thankfully called me and said they no longer needed me days before I was due to do it. |

Re: jury service
Just watch 'Crown Court' on Talking Pictures that will prepare you. They find everyone not guilty, fair enough I say.

Re: Jury Service
Well there you go, I have been called up again only a few weeks after being excused.
