Lack of Clarity in the Jury Duty Summons

 Those summoned can call beginning the Friday before their summons date to find out whether they need to go in to the courthouse, according to the Summons for Jury Service I received.

I called and got the message that I should call Monday, July 20,2015 after 4:30 PM  "to confirm  that you are required to report."  (It should be "whether you are required to report," I think.  

Anyway, since they didn't say "You are required to report on Monday..." I  decided I was free on Monday, and a friend whose San Francisco City Walk tour I wanted to go on  told me he thought I was right. 

But another friend thought I should double check, so I went online to the website given in the summons,  www.sfsuperiorcourt.org.

The summons said, "Click on the Jury Duty Instructions Link and look for the instruction for our 3-digit group number, which is located in the upper left corner of this summons."

But there was no link saying "Jury Duty Instructions."  There was a "Jury Duty" link, but when I clicked on it, I saw no link for instructions.  I chose "directions," which turned out to be how to get there.

I searched for a "contact us" link but didn't find one, so I'm resorting to blogging it!

I don't think this is the kind of community-provided bench the SF Chronicle was talking about today in its article https://www.sfchronic...
