On Friday we posted “I understand that it is the cornerstone of our court system and blah blah blah…but jeez, asking me to drop everything and show up on a three working days notice…that’s a little much.”

The DC Courts PIO responded to us:

“Due to an oversight just before the holidays, jury summons for Jan 29-Feb 8 were not sent out. When this was discovered last week, the court immediately mailed the summons out – and emailed those it had email addresses for, given the unusually short turn around time.”
