I've gotten jury summons several times, but never even had to go IN the court house.
This last time was for a federal jury and I was to call after 5pm the day before to ensure I had to report. I didn't. I was glad because it was an hour and a half drive to get there.
The time before that I took my card to the court house, only to be met by an officer who took my card and informed me the case had been pled (plead?) out that morning. The cards were color coded for each courtroom or something, and they took up the ones for the dismissed cases to prove the juror appeared, so they could get their $15 check.
