I just got summoned to appear, but the issue is that I'm a month into a 121 training program. I've notified my company to see what they advise me to do. Has anyone dealt with this before while in training? I absolutely do not want to delay my training.

You could tell them that the company typically only grants exceptions to the published training schedule for deaths in the family....yours. ;-)

A friend of mine received their first notice, which would have interfered with a scheduled job interview in another state, requiring relocation. They were granted a delay. Fast forward a month and a half later, and and notice two was received. At this time the individual was in training at a job, requiring relocation to another state. The procedure on the Summons was followed then reached out to the court. The individual was contacted by Court and provided with instructions and documents to be provided to them. Info and certifying letters faxed the same day. The individual was permanently excused from Jury Duty in that State.
