It isn't as easy to get out of jury duty in most jurisdictions anymore. I have a jury out right now in a case. There were 5 doctors on my panel and not one of them got out of jury service until they were cut when we struck our jury. I had executives with Alagasco, Alabama Power and the CEO of Grandview Hospital on the panel we choose from. None of those people wanted to be there. But, not a one of them was excused. Now, only one of them made my jury. Most of the time, if you are struck form a jury panel on Monday, you are excused for the rest of the week.
