I got a summons for jury duty!

[Bake]

Here's the thing. I'd LOVE to sit on a jury. I really would. Why? I'm a practicing lawyer, a litigator. There's not a chance in hell that I'll end up on a jury. I've done both plaintiff's and defense work. Neither side would be willing to take the risk. They'll burn a peremptory strike on me so fast it'd make your head spin. And I could actually be FAIR!!! I'd love to sit on a criminal case, too. But it won't happen. Same reason.

Bummer.

1. Other than having to miss work, I actually enjoyed be on a jury

and being chosen as head juror, or whatever its called.

2. I would too.

I've been called several times but have never been chosen.

3. I have been called twice, had to go in once, and was

never picked...

4. I've been on a jury

It was interesting. But I know one thing, as a professional biologist I will probably never get on a jury that has DNA evidence presented.

5. It wouldn't happen to be the mayor of Jackson's jury?

:rofl:

6. I wish!!

I'd LOOOOOOVE to be on that jury!!

Can you believe they haven't reached a verdict YET??? I bet they end up hung.

7. I go every two years like clockwork

I never sit on a jury though. I'm either an alternate or get selected for something that settles. Just did it again the beginning of this month. I'll be back there in February 2011. I would also love to actually serve, but I am nothing but an official county seat warmer.

So much for their fair and equitable selection process.

8. They don't want intelligent people on a jury.

10. I started getting called the minute I turned 18

and always manage to be an alternate, which is just no fun at all.
Since I now have kids under 18, I'm allowed to not go, so I get a break for another 9 years...(i think).
