How often do you have to serve jury duty in NY (Suffolk)?
Thought it was every 7 years for some reason. Got called in May 2007 and got another one in the mail today.

I just went in last week and after a few hours they told us they didn't need anyone that day and we could go home. I guess as people were getting their cards stamped they were asking questions so they made an announcement that we were all done for 6 years.

maybe one was state and one was federal?
eta: Taken from NY Juror:
Q ] If I serve as a juror in federal court do I still have to serve in state court?
A ] A person who serves in a State or Federal court in New York—either by reporting in person or by being available to serve via a telephone call-in system—normally is not eligible to serve again in the New York State courts for at least six years. A juror who serves for more than ten days normally is not eligible to serve again in the New York State courts for at least eight years. Jurors who physically report to serve in Town and Village courts are eligible to serve again in two years. Just because a person is eligible to serve does not mean they will be called.
Q ] If I served as a juror in New York State Court, do I still have to serve in federal court?
A ] Each of the four federal district courts in New York State treats the length of time for ineligibility from service differently. The Eastern, Western, and Northern Districts excuse from service anyone who has served within two years. The Southern District excuses anyone who has served within four years. If your service in the Eastern District (Queens, Kings, Richmond, Nassau or Suffolk) was limited to telephone standby you are not excused from federal court service. In the Northern District (32 northern counties) a summoned juror who attended a jury selection in state court but was not selected to serve on a jury is not excused. For specific information about each court’s practices go to NYS Federal Court Jury Rules.

I haven't gotten a jury duty notice in about 10 years.
