I am surprised that Manhattan hasn't switched over to more of an automated system?? When I served in Queens, I was told to start calling on Day X to see if I would be needed the next day. Eventually, my section of that week's pool did come up, but the deal was that if you didn't get picked for a jury on that one day, you were done. I considered this a great improvement over my service during college, in Manhattan, where I had two very long days in a very hot room in August. (I already know I won't ever make it through voir dire, so I consider my jury duty a particularly inconvenient obligation.) But I suppose Chinatown is way better than hanging out in Kew Gardens. In the rain, if I recall correctly.
