for Jury Duty this week - or, rather - I have to report on Tuesday to see if I will be picked to serve. It has been over 12 years since I've received my last jury summons.

Wow I've never been asked.

It could be interesting :thumbup:

I got called every year for 10 years. I haven't heard from them for 2 years, maybe they think I moved.

I've been on several, but here when you get to the big seven 0, then you can opt out of being called. I went to the court house and showed them my hearing aid and explained that not hearing very well made me more irritable than usual and I didn't think I could handle seeing crooks walking free!!!!
She immediately crossed my name from her computer, and I think I heard her giggling as I left.

Ha ha, I like that one!

Last one I served on was regarding a 50 plus car pile up and an insurance company was trying to blame 1 person for the whole thing and make him pay for damages & hospital bills. Problem was he was back in like car 32... Never made any sense to me. We finally found him not responsible for the damages after 2 days of deliberation. Glad I did not end up on the other jury seated that day. They ended up on a really nasty murder trial that sequestered for a long time. Roll of the dice but without them our legal system doesn't work.

good luck

I'm suppose to be going to see my Brother on Thursday (10 hours away) so if I get chosen I won't be able to go - but I want to serve because I find it interesting.

I'm just waiting to see what I get to do.

I always feel that it is my civic duty to serve on jury duty....but one year I got called 3 times....only had to serve once...but that was a bit much. I thought, can't they spread it around a little bit?
