It is.

I haven't had to sit on the jury, but I was summoned. A quick response to "is there any other reason why you will not be able to sit on the panel" is usually enough to get you out of a case. In mine, I said "well, I've got finals this week, so I can't sit all seven days of this trial."

Now I don't have to serve again for three years.
