OT: Jury Duty! Help!

[dharmagirl]

I know it’s my civic duty and all….but I just got a summons for jury duty. The timing couldn’t be worse. I’ve got a couple of big project deadlines that I alone am responsible for…and I eat what I kill as they say…

Can I just walk in and say, hey, I despise the entire human race and, by the way, I think the death penalty rocks?

Honestly, I wouldnt really do that because it’s not true.

Ugh.

Thoughts?

Just call the number on the form and reschedule. I think the limit is at least three weeks and no more than 6 mos. for the next jury duty. I just rescheduled it earlier this year to June 2nd, but seeing that I’m starting a new job on June 2nd, had to reschedule again and they had no problem with it.

Here’s a hint: schedule for a Monday or Tuesday since they won’t have the cases for the week set up yet, you are supposedly less likely to be picked.

Thanks!

My first reaction was panic because my husband is in jury duty right now and the process sounds dreadful.

Hey – good luck with the new job!

As Homer Simpson once said, you can get off jury duty by claiming that you’re biased against all races 🙂

On the other hand, IMO, the best idea is just to be honest. The odds are (overwhelmingly) that you won’t be picked anyways. It’s not worth gaming the system, work deadlines and all.

PS: if you happen to be highly educated, your chance of being picked is nearly zero. Lawyers seem to very much dislike educated jurors; that’s saying something sad about our legal system.
