Call the court, I don't think you can just get out of it. I was called for it back in college, I got out of it because I was a student and attending classes out of that county. I was called for it last year and didn't get selected after showing up. I just showed up and donated my $25 to charity when I left an hour later.

If it's out of your county then you don't have to go. My parents get selected quite often and since we're right on the county line(literally). They don't have to do it.
