I got summons!

[TechMan]

Same here..  37 years old.  Been a registered voter since I turned 18.  I've never been called up for jury duty.

Same her except that I am 42.

It's weird.  A coworker younger than me gets called up pretty much every year.  He is at the point now that he tries to get out of jury duty, figures he has done his part already considering so many people around here have never been called.

I'll be 54 in two months.

Set your voter registration to Libertarian, and then see how often you get called up for jury duty.

They hate them FIJA people.

Well, my group has to be back in the morning.

Sixty y.o.  two weeks ago & got my first jury summons. To Fed court, yet.  Seventy miles one way but I can stay over if I want. Get paid at work, too.

Probably get cancelled.

Made it trough the first 2 week session without getting selected to be on a jury. I did have to set through 2 voir dires. I doubt I would have made the cut for either of those. 1st trial was a case of DHS wanting to revoke parental rights. I've got some 1sy and a half hand experience with that situation via my sister. I have been permanently biased against DHS ever since.
The 2nd case was "posesion of a firearm after felony conviction" The prosecutor asked the pool if anyonne owned a gun, about a third of the pool raised their hands, they were all asked how many and what kinds. I suspect that if I'd been asked that and I'd answered "somewhere between 25-30" and "everything from flintlocks to AR-15s".  I might have been rejected. I also might have been dismissed if they asked me my opinion of the charges themselves. I doubt we would have been told but it would matter to me what the felony was.
The judge repeated several times that the jury MUST apply the law as written regardless of their feelings on the law.

Just cause he SAYS it...

I've been called for jury duty once. I'm 25 and it was 3 years ago.

I was selected. I was not able to serve because my grandfather had died the day before jury selection and the trial was going to be on the day of the funeral.

I do hope to one day serve on an interesting case and see the whole process.

I also think it's a duty. Being self-employed (IOW, if I don't work I don't get paid), jury duty can be costly. When business is slow, though, it's not a problem.

Being white, male and middle-aged or older really reduced the odds of me being selected.

even when I really want to be on a jury, even when I volunteer for grand jury-I get turned down because my brother is a cop.

plus over 50 white guy. I'll never serve on a Jury, I have always shown up hoping to be picked I now know they never will.
