No. Usually the defense and prosecution will run background checks on the jurors appearing on their cases. If you are caught, you will be arrested on the warrant. I do not know if there is specific law in California that deals with this situation.

An arrest warrant, in some cases, may be issued for a person who has not committed a crime and who may not even be charged with a crime, but who is ordered by the court to appear or to perform a specific duty.
Can you have a warrant without being arrested?
If you press charges against someone, and if in the process the police discover that you have a warrant for your arrest that remains outstanding, they have a duty to arrest you.

However, there is always the risk that they will do so and you would typically be arrested on the spot.Added; In most professionally administered law enforcement agencies it is standard practice to "run" the names of EVERYONE involved in a case through a criminal history computer check.
