haha.... I get one every 2 months ... I do my best to get out of them... I guess, congrats??

Your name is on the short list which is why you keep getting drawn. You need to go and your name will be moved to the long list.

It's your civic duty, man.

Correct. The court system only works if people sit on the jury. I constantly hear about people trying to get out of it for no good reason. We all have to do it for the system to work properly.

hell i love it. well as long as i don't get picked. which i never do since my dad work for the court system. ne ways you go to a room, they feed you, it's nice and silent, can finally read with no one bugging me, break for lunch. go back and read somemore. they give you like a few bucks. but i get the day off work, get paid for it and don't have to use my sick time or vac k time

Never thought about it like that before. Man I wish I would get picked now. Those are the kind of days I need.

Thats not true. If you have a family member that works in the court system I.E. transport officer, baliff, sherriff. You are actually barred from serving in jury duty.

I am one of those people that are not allowed to do jury duty. :banana:

Say you're taking summer sessions at a college. If that doesn't work then when you get there say "I'm glad to be here, I have a real knack for being able to tell if a person is guilty or not just by looking at them, and from that point on nothing can change my mind." That line has gotten 2 of my friends out of duty and my uncle out of it everytime he's been summoned since he was 18... he's like 46 now or something.

That is part of the system and why it works.

If I recall, by family they typically mean parents, siblings, children, grandparents, first cousins, aunts & uncles, and also close long term friends are included on that list. Those rules could change from county to county though so it's best to just call and find out.

This also holds true if you have any affiliation with the plaintiff, defendant, lawyers.

I know its my civic duty to serve, I dont mind it. I just cant believe that I'm this young serving. I've always thought you were 20+ serving. I know it says 18+

You say you dont mind doing it, but you are asking how to get out of it.

Heaven forbid you have to put down the video game controller and go to the court house for a few days (if that)

I never said I wanted to get out of it, I said I had heard of ways to get out of it.

Oh yes let me put my game controller down :rolleyes:
