(Feb 19 05, 11:09)what does that have to do with jury duty?

i wouldn't put it past them to check what language you speak if you check that box. becareful.
sorry man, it may not be as bad as you think. you have to be compensated as well so it may work to your benefit. i've never had to but a good friend of mine has. he actually liked it, but yet he is an odd individual......
good luck.

i had jury duty earlier in the month. its not too bad. i got picked for a case that lasted three days, but it was only a civil case. and civil cases only go from 9-1. so i had the whole afternoon off and then i got free lunch from them too.
the only thing that sucked was that i had to be there at 8am the morning after my pats one the super bowl and i missed the parade because of it as well.

tell them you are a practicing racist and you won't get picked for any trials.

get your boss to write a letter estimating the total cost to the company if you were to be out of the office vs. 100% billable.
"...in addition, his contributions directly affect x employees, magnifying the cost of his absense."

exactly, be hard-headed and one sided and say you believe in unbelievable shit like death for elders who drive bad and that truancy is a federal offense, women who own more than two cats should be institutionalized etc. etc.

Why not just do your duty?
I have a much clearer picture of the judicial system after going through the juror process. Good experience.
Depending on the judge, it can be tough to get out of... Unless you're willing to lie.

i got pretty good view into the system when policeman was "teaching" me gow to talk to the prosecutor when the caught the guy who robbed me.
Even though the caught the guy since then i lost all faight in justice of this system.
I'll lie. I'm just wondering if the don't pick me for any specific trial the first day howmany days do i have to show up?
