Federal Jury Duty

Forum Index > Blogs

Location: 25 minutes east of my house
Date: Monday August 11, 2008
Time: 9am
Juror Number 12345
Phone to call 1-800-12345

I got a questionnaire a few months ago about Federal Jury duty so this doesn't come as a surprise. What's nice is, it doesn't fall during my grad classes, or my job. If I end up on some kind of a long case though, it really could be a big problem.

It's telephone standby (2 weeks) which means every prior evening I call up to find out whether or not to report in. One person on IRC mentioned I should comment that I'll happily report in for any case as long as it doesn't determine the fate of any black or Jewish people, but I think that's a bit over the top.

In conclusion: I'm fairly lucky with the timing, and very lucky with the location (don't have to fight with New York City) but who wants to report in at 9am and dress for work during summer vacation? :-/

Who else has done any kind of jury duty or grand jury duty?

I've always opted out because it would fuck my work/school schedule =p

Although Federal Jury might be interesting, that could be a big case. If it wasn't for the fact that you can get stuck there forever for 10$, I think it would be cool to see something like that.

my dad had jury duty like a week and half ago. he went down at 9am as well i think and sat there for 3-4 hours while they questioned the potential jurors. he never got called to be questioned so he basically just sat there. seems like no matter what jury duty is generally a waste of time and u should try to get out of it , however federal jury may be interesting.

Do what one of my teachers did, they will ask you if you have any prejudice of the person that is on trial, she had gone to a drunk driver case, she stood up when the judge asked, "does anyone here have any strong prejudiced during this case?". She stood up and said she would would have trouble dealing with drunk drivers because an incident when she was younger (lying btw) and she was allowed to leave right after. Fucking win.

My dad was once asked if he believed that a policemen could tell a lie. He promptly responded "is that a joke?".

He got dismissed and didn't have to do jury duty

I wish I could believe in the legal system, so I could rant on about how jury duty really is what keeps the justice machine just, and how trying to dodge jury duty is low. But the system is pretty fucked and I don't know that good jurors would fix it.
