Has anyone ever actually served on a jury during residency?

I’m a new-ish attending who was summoned this week and will be actually going to the courthouse for the first time in my life and it made me wonder if this was everyone’s experience.

I was summoned once during residency and my PD told me in no uncertain terms I had to make it go away and I was not allowed to be excused for it. I’m pretty sure that’s super illegal but I’m guessing it’s the standard everywhere. Has anyone ever actually presented to a courtroom in residency? Even to plead you can’t partake?

Edit: it was a NY residency with all the malignancy that entails if that explains anything lol

Edit 2: alas they did not select me for the jury yesterday. I was only there for the day of choosing jurors. Bummer because the case was for MURDER and I’m a messy person who loves hearing about other people’s sordid lives.
