I got picked for a jury last week, all week long. I don't wish that boring mess on anyone, but it did feel good to have 1/12th a vote to keep some scum from getting a lot of money they didn't deserve.

I went one time and if you didn't think you could serve had to stand in line and tell the judge. Explained it was our busy time of the year, so he asked if I wanted to serve the first or second week. I picked the second and was not needed. He made a statement that many people want the second amendment right but aren't willing to serve on jury duty.

That is an interesting comparison.

Yeah. It's very difficult to be consistent. I'm frequently guilty of picking and choosing myself.

I served recently and thoroughly enjoyed going through the process. Was it an inconvenience, sure. Our legal system, whether we agree with all outcomes/trials/judges or not, is the best in the world. There are many men that have died protecting the right to a fair trial. If I am inconvenienced for one or two weeks to do my duty then so be it. Trying to find excuses to get out of it is lazy - if it truly causes you and your family a hardship then most judges will dismiss you - but they are very good at deciphering the BS.

I've been called 3 times. I always bring a ton of work to do. I sit around on Monday and watch jury pools get called and then around lunch time I'm told I've been excused for the week.

That's happened all three times.

Them adding wifi to the jury pool room was sort of a game changer for those that need to get chit done and can't sit around.

I got summoned a couple of months back. I had planned on showing up to serve as my civic duty. I though it would be an interesting process to see first hand. I recieved a letter a few days or week before my date that pretty mich said " Thanks, but you are no longer needed"


The fool tells me his reasons; the wise man persuades me with my own.

In Lubbock County, somehow I was picked every six or seven months it seems. One of the defense questions was always "Is anyone here related to a Lubbock police officer?". Yep, my brother is Sr Corp Mark Long. I was always struck by the defense. Free paid day off work.

agree.

We have a lot of folks here with tremendous common sense and decency that would make great jurors. (some not so much as can be seen from this thread).

Most folks may serve only one time in their entire life.

So even the self employed folks should be glad and willing to do that since it will probably only be one week out of their entire life that they are called upon to do so.

Yep - signed a form for one of my employees. The company paid him for performing his civic duties.
