The Court will not call you unless you have asked to have the Court return your call. On rare occasions, the Court may call jurors to inform them that a case(s) has been settled. This is done in an effort to avoid any unnecessary appearances. 

This Court appreciates your service and values your time, making every effort to not inconvenience you. Jury trials are a constitutional right to all defendants, therefore when a jury trial is requested the Court will provide that opportunity.
