Jury Duty, WHAT!

[blindpig]

Drew a cow elk tag in a good unit and BAM..Jury duty.  Its municpal jury duty so maybe it won't b much of anything.  This sucks.  I don't mind doing my share of civil service but man, not during elk season.

Easy solution...when asked if you can be fair and impartial, tell the judge that you will give anyone a fair trial....right before you hang them.    

Lets you out EVERY time. 

(JUST KIDDING FOLKS 0 Jury duty is an important part of what legal system we have left.  Dont leave it to the daytime soap hopper and QVC shopper to dispense what is needed....GO DO IT YOURSELF)

Just ask to be rescheduled to a later date.......If they ask why, inform them that you have a vation planned at the same time. Most time all you have to do is ask to reschedule and they will no questions asked.

Any time a jury duty summons has come at a bad time for me, I've called the Clerk's office and aked to be resceduled.  They have been real good at doing this, especially if they know that you aren't just trying to weasel out of it entirely.  They just take the names from the pool as the computer spits them out.  Adjustments can be made.

I got called for jury duty for the same time period as I was going to be gone for a Wyoming hunt a few years back.  Made the call to re-schedule due to a vacation.  No problem, did my service a few months later in February.

Like gasman said never had an issue rescheduling; I've done it three times. The last one I said hay guys it's been less than a year since I was on a jury and after 4 years never been called again.

As gasman said, they will happily reschedule you.  Its trying to cancel that they get persnickity.

I know what you mean.  Im active duty Navy and a Oregon resident.  I got a nice notice during the season for jury duty.  7 hours from were I live in Washington.     The state of Oregon provided a phone number to call to reschedule.  It was pretty easy for Oregon.  They actually took me off the list.  But like I said Im active duty though.  Dont know if there is a number for Washington.

Once I got jury duty letter. I show up, I stand up say I can't hear where is your interpreter ASL for me cuz I am deaf, they kick me out and never ask me again.

Good luck with the reschedule. I think that I would freak out if I got a notice right now. Hopefully I am not the one to replace you when you reschedule.

They will reschedule.  Tell them you have a business trip scheduled but that you are available the month after.

Tell them you believe in hearing all of the evidence before convicting the criminal. Seriously, you should be able to get a reschedule if you ask.

Wow. Lying to a court...Without shame. Over a vacation... Wow...

I have had mine rescheduled.  Choose the week prior to Christmas.  Trials have a habit of being canceled during that time.

If that fails, Tell them to direct all questions to the sock puppet you are wearing on your right hand.  Answer all questions in a cartoon voice in a poorly executed attempt at ventriloquism.
