Its actually pretty interesting, plus your employer has to pay you and you get the day off. Im 23 and have been selected 4 times since i was 18 (only had to go twice) You usually get outta there by noon anyway. Unless you get picked for the case, just act sketchy and they'll toss you off the jury. Its not too bad. Free paid day off of work and you might actually learn somethin about our court systems

do what someone above said, act really sketchy and sound pissed at the world, be very prejudicial and biased, then chances are you wont have to do it.

The only people stupid enough to not get out should not be on a jury.

In canada its a pretty sweet deal. I would have to travel to my nearest court, so they pay your hotel, food, gas, and like what your wages are that day. I thought its a pretty sweet deal.

I know this is an old thread, but...
just finished serving on a jury and needed to share. I know no one likes reporting and it is a pain to make arrangements for work but, it is a great experience. I was blessed to not really be involved in the court system growing up, so this was one of my first real looks/experiences I have had. The hardest part was not talking to anybody about the crazy stuff that you heard in court and not looking up information about the defendant online. 10/10 would recommend.

Been selected 3 times but never showed up and. Nothing has happened because I didn't show either. It's been several years ago too and I haven't been asked since.

Still ducking that shit. They stopped sending me things for it. I never filled out the initial thing to register. Kinda glad because I don't really live anywhere, and if they tried to tell me I had to go if I wasn't around, I'd tell them to git facked.

Don't really mind the idea of it. I'm pretty level headed and ditch the jump to conclusions mat that a lot of people seem to rock, but the "Oh well just hit you up some random time and you have to go" sounds like total ass.

Just listening to people on facebook makes me think its a total shitshow. Sucks that a bunch of dumb fucks are the only thing standing between your freedom, and 10 years in a federal pound me in the ass prison. I just picture the gems of society from the walmart parking lot in full degenerate lynch mob forum saying "Fuck the evidence, lets burn him! Yeah burn him!!! yeah!!!"

I need a nap btw.

1st time I was selected was for a state I didn't even live in anymore. 2nd time was last year. I made it onto the jury for a manslaughter case. It was a tense 3 days but it was interesting though.
