piranesi Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Would any business major at Stanford believe in anything told to them by someone not savvy and slick enough to get out of their civic duty? Jury duty is not for closers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tromatagon Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Explosive diarrhea is a much more iron clad excuse Which they didn't talk about in the high altitude stuff. I go to Colorado pretty regularly as my girlfriend is finishing vet school there, and every time I go I feel like I'm going to shit out my soul.

Cliff Hanger Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Every time I've ever been called for jury duty, my response has been "I'm legally blind, what accommodations are you prepared to offer me to ensure that I get the same data as the sighted jurors?" I really am legitimately disabled, but no one has EVER asked me to show up to prove it, which just reinforces the 'jury duty is for people too dumb to weasel out of it' meme.

The Nature Boy Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 As a law student (and almost lawyer), I'll never get to serve on a jury. It's something I actually wish I could experience. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In CA, they have you phone-in throughout the week you're scheduled for your service. Which is awful. The worst is the "call at 11am and we'll tell you if we need you to be in by 1pm" for 5 straight days. Completely ruins any ability to plan your work week.

Cobra Commander Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 As someone who isn't employed, I was disappointed when my jury duty session was cancelled the night before it occurred. I'm in a weird fringe there. But yeah, I got an advance notice through the mail as well. Not sure what California's problem is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely ruins any ability to plan your work week.They have the "call in all week to see if you're needed" deal here too. I've gotten summons three times, but have never even had to go into the courthouse. I got the first right after I turned 18, but didn't have to go since I was still in high school (yay December birthdays), the second I got at 23 and had to do the "call every day" thing, then the third was a little late, since I got it right before my 30th birthday last year, but I never heard anything after filling out the online form.FUN FACT: My senior year English teacher has "jury duty" just about every year and is still somehow employed, even though everyone knows "jury duty" is code for "annual failed visit to a detox center".

hammerva Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 This sounds bad I really hope it is a murder or physical assault case that he is on the jury of. I just picture Dave in the deliberation room saying "I want to believe that he killed that man but I don't think the victim sold the blood loss enough" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not actually true. The academic dean of our law school got picked for a three day trial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offspring515 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Here in Michigan they give you a specific date and you call the day before to see if they need you. I've got the summons 3 times but only had to go once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdA Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Here in Michigan they give you a specific date and you call the day before to see if they need you. I've got the summons 3 times but only had to go once. Ditto here in Ohio. Of course, living in a tiny county, actually voting and not being in jail means that I get the call ever other year. I have served twice - the last time just in November. And since I live in said tiny county with a limited pool, basically the only way to get out of jury duty is to die or be in jail. My mom got the letter to possibly serve on a trial for next week. And god I am so going to love if she actually has to serve - even better if she could serve with Dave. Man, the other 10 people of the jury would surely kill themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tromatagon Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 The calling in shit in California does really suck, but I haven't ever had to actually go in. My more ethnically diverse friends almost always have to, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
