I have never been called. I hope that if I do, it is for some idiot suing McDonalds over hot coffee. I would be more than happy to inject some sense into an idiotic scenario like that.

It will never happen here, though. Stuff like that only happens in blue states.

Don't get me wrong. I know its my civic duty, and part of being an American. I also will not act like I am ready to flip the switch for everyone and scream "Death sentence". I do it correctly, answer the questions in truth, and if I get chosen for the jury, I listen to both sides and weigh in my vote for or against with the rest of the jury, whether I am in agreeance with the rest of the jury or not.

I just shake my head at getting six summons since 1988. It doesnt seem like a lot, but when you are told most only get one in their lifetime, I want my luck for jury duty switched over to Lotto

One time....I asked if I could be excused and they said yes. I went back to work.

Every couple of years... five minutes with me on the phone & they give me a pass.

As a peace officer, there is not any lawyer that wants you on his jury. After showing up and wasting a day in the selection process, they finally tell me that I can be excused because of such. I was pissed that I wasted the whole day.

Now I just toss them in the shredder. I don't even call.

I think 6 or 7 in my life

had to go in that last 4 times

and stay all day the last 2

but didn't get picked

crazy eyes work for some things ahhahahah

Summoned mebbe 10-12 times, picked and served 3-4 times. Got out of it last time (friends were appearing as witnesses) but the judge still made a nasty comment.

Somebody told me once that they'd hate to be in court and be judged by 12 people not smart enough to get out of jury duty.

I just got another summons notice last Tuesday.

3 - one I got dismissed, 2 I got postponed for school

A couple of times in CA but threw them away. Been in NV and AZ the last 5 yrs with no requests. Uh oh, may have jinxed it now.

Here, jury duty list is taken from voter registration files.

Is this common practice everywhere?

Kalifornia uses the DMV data base.
