In PA they do the jury picks from drivers licenses. More to pull from I guess.

Don't go on a Monday. That is when they are "casting" the all the new cases. Everyone in the jury room was assigned to a court that day. They
usually let half the people in the room go home pretty much right away. Also, they LOVE LOVE LOVE accountants and teachers as jurors.
I don't know what you mean by "attitude," U9. None of the questions they asked pertained to me, and I didn't even get interviewed. They just called my name to be seated in the jury box. |

Both times I had to go it was Federal Court. I had to leave my house at 4:30 am to get there in time. I sat around for hours before being called into a
courtroom. One by one we had to stand, say our names, if we were married, single, children, how many, where we worked, what we did, what our spouse and kids
did, etc. The attorney's then asked questions. The only question I was asked was where I was born. I was excused both times. They still don't like
yankee's in the south.
 If I get
called again I'm gonna be pissed. I wouldn't mind going for my city or county, but it's a real pain in the ass to have to get to downtown Atlanta
by 8am from where I live.

All of that info was on our jury forms that we had to fill out. The trial was some lame-o car accident case where some rich woman spent a bunch of money on
chiropractors and dentistry and wanted some poor lady to pay for all of it. Most of the questions were car accident/cracked teeth related. It was a "raise
your hand if you've had a cracked tooth" thing.

I believe I am. At least, I'm registered at my old address down the street. I don't know if the address on the county voters roll changed, though, when
I changed my address with the DMV. My friend told me that it does, but then again, he got his voter's guide in the mail two weeks ago while I have yet to
receive mine, so that's a little disconcerting. In any case, I have until the 20th to make sure.

No, but my mom keeps bothering me about voting. I don't want Jury Duty. I learned my lesson last time I voted.

I've been registered for 20 years and don't miss an election. I figure if you don't vote, you don't have the right to bitch about the
government.

I don't bitch about the government. I think no matter how you vote, it's all going to go to shit anyways. :)

You people are kidding yourselves if you think you won't have jury duty if you don't register to vote.
They use all kinds of lists now -- utilities in your name, car registration, etc. And besides, if you don't vote you REALLY better not bitch. |
