Go with the big ones: drugs, divorce, property issues, assault/battery. You don't even have to have an unconventional opinion, just s strong one that would keep you from being "open-minded."

Around here you just have to have a driver's license to be pulled in for Jury Duty. I'm 98% sure on that.

You shouldn't have to get too creative to avoid it - just tell them you are an educated and rational person ..........
Nothing so scary as a jury of your "peers"!
Maybe because noone ever wants to spend the time to serve.

Maybe if they had only one person to sit in the Jury Box, I wouldn't find Jury Duty such a joke of our judicial system.

I'd rather play the odds w/ 12 folks than 1. Maybe I'd get lucky and someone w/ a brain would get past the filters!

I've been :funn: at this thread, but I should really stop and point out a couple of things:
First, most cases get dropped on the day of jury selection. Folks will assert their innocence, until they see people filing in for jury duty. Then, they get nervous and the plea barganing begins. Last time I got called (yes, we get called too, and we can't plead hardship), juries were to be picked for four cases and every dang one of them pled out that morning.
Second, if you have a true hardship (or are elderly, or pregnant, or have young kids at home), all you have to do is call. We wouild prefer you call 892-8115, but you may call 267-3066.
Third...SJ, in reference to the t-shirts...you must not know Judge Green or Judge Wells. But I do.
