It depends on what juristiction you are in. In some Canadian provinces and Territories you are served in person (guy at your work place says "are you Joe Blow," and hands you the summons to appear). If you don't show there is a warrant for your arrest issued, and you can avoid arrest by paying big fine.

I know it is not the same everywhere.

Anyway, if you are trying to get off jury duty, one person I know said that she was excited about getting on, because she watched so many laws shows on TV, and also thought she'd be a good foreman.

One side used one of their refusals on her, and I'm sure the otherside would have too. I'm told lawyers for defence and prosecution both hate people that are too keen to be jurors...they are wildcards.

So there is one potential way to get off...pretend you have waited your whole life for this.

Yes one person (older white guy) that was in the jury pool said right away when he saw the defendant he thought he was guilty. Then he tried to rationalize it by saying if it was his son and that he should be given a fair trial. He was dismissed by the lawyers later.

And this was why I was dismissed. I was second seat in the front row before sitting in the jury box. Two ppl were dismissed right way for various reasons. The lady in the first seat was dismissed b/c her mother recently passed away. She actually asked for an extension to come back. So i got moved to the one seat (closet to the judge top row). Judge asked everyone their living/job situations starting with myself. Then the lawyers started with their individual questions. The first question that came from the prosecutor was for me. So i knew I was on her radar already. We break for lunch and came back to her asking more questions. I noticed she asked the same question to me as another person (girl) in the box. Basically asking us if we ever lived on our own and/or for how long.

We took a 15 min break around 3:05. At this point I was worried about actually getting selected. We were supposed to break for the day at 5:00. I asked the bailiff if I could have a chance to speak to the judge and court staff after the jury pool was dismissed, like i did yesterday. He said no and that i should raise my hand once we get in there again.

At this point I was really feeling down for some reason. The defense lawyer was asking questions now and he asked me to confirm something i said earlier which I did. Then I said "Are you coming back to me?". I wasnt sure if he was moving on to speak to another person and I decided this was the time to mention i didnt think I was in the right state of mind to be apart of this trial. I also mentioned again about how i was taking medication for depression before and had social anxiety issues.

A couple mins later the judge asked me with my past if he should let me go. I said yes and he excused me.

I dont think I would have made it through the lawyer dismissing ppl process anyway. Had to stick around b/c my buddy who drove me was still in there. And he actually has to go back for the third day.

I actually kinda want to be in a jury. It'd be more fun than being prosecuted.

Mehh this is the 2nd time they call me in for jury duty. If i dress nice and gel my hair i guarantee they wont pass on a blue eyed blonde white boy for jury duty

If your in the chosen group they take you and then question the group to see if people are biased one way or the other. I can easily give a wrong answer something they dont want to hear and i wont get picked. Not that i dont want to do jury duty, i think id be a better juror than most of u donks here.

I was also thinking i walk in with pajama pants, and my hair all messed up and wear this shirt and they wont pick me lol.

Heh, my sister-in-law unwittingly got out of jury duty with an answer. The defense attorney asked her "do you think you can view the defendant as being truly innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable shadow of doubt?" Her answer was "well, if he got arrested he's got to be guilty of something." Nothing too nutty, nothing racist, but definitely alarming to a defense attorney. She didn't get on.
