What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
I was called to be on a civil trial and asked if I could provide an unbiased account while serving during this week. I explained that I am a graduate student and I would be missing classes this week, but I agreed that missing one week of classes would be acceptable. However, now the deliberations are extending beyond this week and I'd like to know what the consequences will be if I do not show up next week? As I need to attend my classes next week or I will suffer academically and may even receive in-completes and I have midterms next week. I am very upset that as a juror I have no control over what is going on and I am wondering as a juror what can I do about this situation????
