OK, not to sound like an idiot but I am not a very political person and just try to live a normal simple life.

Here is my problem, Check my mail today and got a summons to court for Jury Duty.

Can anyone tell me how this works? what to expect? etc.
I dont have a problem with it if it doesnt cause me to loose my regular pay from work because I have four kids and missing time from work is fine as long as i still get paid...

Any insight on this from anyone that has dealt with this before would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Kevin
