Jury Duty, Superior Court of D.C.
Well, I was summoned to Jury Duty this month, as was my friend Robert. We both moved to DC around the same time, and ironically, both summonsed at the same time too! Anyway, you can fill out the form they send you in the mail online:
Go to DC Courts website and complete your juror qualification form or request a deferral of your jury service online!!

What to Do While Waiting in the Lounge
Quote: "Please be prepared to spend time waiting in the Jurors' Lounge prior to serving as a juror. The Court apologizes for this inconvenience, but please know the Jurors' Office staff is aware of your concerns. Many administrative processes have been implemented to minimize your waiting time and ensure you are given the opportunity to serve as a juror. The waiting is caused by the fact that trials are scheduled to begin at different times throughout the day and parties may settle the case at any time prior to commencing the trial. Therefore, predicting when, or if, you will actually serve is very difficult."
They also suggest:
"Bring things to do while you are waiting. Books, magazines, newspapers, laptops, cards, and other quiet activities are permitted. The Jurors' Lounge has televisions, vending machines, and telephones. As a courtesy, a business center equipped with carrels, modem access for 7 laptop computers, a facsimile, and copier is also available."
