Jury Duty

chunglii said:
I have jury duty for the first time, too. On Wednesday. Surprised I was even summoned because I'm only 18. But I guess they'll summon anybody once they register to vote.

Or is it by driver's license?

I rolled out of bed not knowing what i was getting myself into and just ate some cereal hopped in the car and was off. Turned into 8 hrs of doing jackshit with 150 other ppl there. Missed work, brought no reading material, and phone about died so no web surfing ://///

If they told you to show up at 7:30, that means they won't start anything until 8:00. They just tell everyone to be there at 7:30 because of everyone who's going to come in late. Which sucks, because those of us who are punctual were denied a half hour of sleep.

You sit in a big room, and at 8:00ish someone will come out and explain in painstaking detail how to fill out the form that you already filled out because you can read fucking english. This will take about 30-45 minutes.

You will scope the room to see if there are any hot chicks. There will be exactly one. You will say a silent prayer that you get sequestered on a 6 month trial and your hotel room is adjacent to hers. This prayer will go unanswered. That's what you get for praying when you don't even believe in god, you hypocrite.

Then you have to watch a juror orientation video that talks about how you're doing your civic duty and the system depends on you. This will give you a sense of national pride. You will vote republican in the next election.

You will sit around and wait for an hour or two. The waiting in the juror room isn't bad at all if you have a tablet or a smartphone to play with. They provide you with wifi, which is nice. There are signs that say not to surf porn on their network. You will find a secluded corner and do it anyway, just to feel like you're stickin' it to the man.

You will be called into the courtroom by a judge. The courtroom is a long walk from the room you're in, but that's okay because you're going to get right behind that hot chick and stare at her ass the whole way.

In the courtroom, they will make 12 of you potential jurors sit in the jury box. If you're not one of these 12 people, then you will be ignored completely. You will sit patiently while the adults talk. You will come up with all kinds of ideas on how to make this process more efficient. You will stare lovingly at the hot chick.

The judge and the lawyers will ask those 12 people questions, one by one. It will take an hour to get through 3 people. The judge will decide to be "nice" and cut the day short at 4:15, not realizing that this really fucks you over because now you have to come back the next day, when if he'd just stayed until 5 then maybe the process could have been finished.

You will return the next day and do all of the same things.

Good god i know the feeling of having to wait. Your phone is dead and you have nothing else to do except look at your feet or the wall as time slowly moves. I'll make sure to bring my phone fully charged and a book.
 
im on call...

hoping i dont have to go ever
 
I think they break it down a - M and then n - z or something. Just hope your last name isn't near the ends of both, otherwise you could be in for a couple hour wait
 
I'm going to lay down some statistics.

I had to go to jury duty 5 times by time I was 25.

Only 1 time did I call in and not have to go.

4 of those 5 times I just had to sit there all day without getting called into a courtroom.

The 1 time I did get called into the courtroom, I got dismissed from the jury box by acting like I didn't understand how courts worked.

1 of the 5 times I went actually had a hot chick and no I didn't get to sit anywhere near her.

3 times I had to sit next to an annoying ass 45 year old man who would talk to me the entire time about the most uninteresting shit.

2 of the 5 trips to Jury Duty we had to watch R.V. with Robin Williams.

100% of my trips to Jury Duty involved watching Dr. Phil at the end of the day.

Being white means you're a minority in 100% of my trips to Jury Duty.
 
Bring a book, a full charged phone, and a shirt that says some kind of poltical statement.

Seeing you are in the US, I suggest a "Justice for Trayvon" shirt or something similar.
 
I've been summoned 3 times. First time I wasn't called in, 2nd i had school, 3rd(last week) I wasnt called in

Jesus man don't wear a fucking hoody, are you crazy?
 
Fedorgasm not lookin too good. Too many old women and a bunch of 4's. One you can argue as a low 5. Going to be a long day.
 
"I AM TRAYVON MARTIN" hoodie is a brilliant idea the next time I get called for jury duty.

Instant dismissal if you get called in to a case.
 
You just sit in a room and then they assign you a group. Either your group gets called or they dismiss you. It's still better than waiting at the dmv.
