Jury Duty and misspelled name

[dude5]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA

Is one obligated to appear for jury duty if his/her last name is misspelled on the letter?

Thanks

Dude.... Yes. When you show up for service, be kind enough to help the clerk make the correction.

Short answer: YES

Yes, you are. Further, you should check both your driver license and your voter registration information. Someone has your name misspelled.

Misspelling a name on a legal document is called a Misnomer.

Such is NOT grounds to ingore any document, citation, subpeona or Jury service summons etc.

If you ignore it, be ready for legal trouble.
