I have no excuse to skip it...soo, what do you guys normally do to make sure you don't get chosen? First time here..I've heard some ridiculous stuff before... but curious as to what you guys have come up with Big Grin

Or do some of you actually try to participate? From what I've heard..everyone always tries to get out in anyway possible..

I didn't try to get out of jury duty the first time (the other two I got out of because the first one was a different county and the second because of the previous call to jury duty in the same county). Granted it was for municipal court (aka "Ticket court") so I didn't really mind even if I did get picked.

Well I'm going to the Superior Court apparently...it's an hour away. I'm not really sure what excuses are acceptable..my employer said that he normally calls out because of his distance..I just googled it and it's about 10 minutes further for him.

I'm wondering now if I could have done that...all of the options seem so serious though so I wasn't sure.

It says I should bring something to read..do you know if they will let me bring my Kindle? Scratchchin

I wanted to serve - at least once, so I went when I was called last time. Just before the trial was to start, a plea deal was reached. It counted as me serving. I'd like to see the process first hand once.
