I've been summoned 5 times. Served 4 times before I was 26. The last one was a little over a yr ago. Self employeed now, so they excused me from it.
If you're not self employeed, go and do it. If you get a case, you'll learn something about the judicial system. Of the times I went:
Served on a grand jury - 3 weeks, first week for three consecutive months
Served on a District Court case - 3 hrs into trial, plea bargain reached, excused to go home on a Tuesday
Served on a Federal criminal court - dismissed on Wed after not being called
Served on a District Court case - dismissed on Wed after not being called
Be sure to take plenty of reading material.

Tell them you work for an insurance company or your dad is a sheriff's deputy. But you should serve at least once to get a full appreciation of how fricked our judicial system is.
