there might make a hasty decision or just blindly agree with other jurors to be done quicker. May I suggest selective tourette syndrome. Every minute or so, turn your head to the left and drop the f-bomb. Twice court officers asked me to stop. I told them I couldn't even with medication that I am on. Can you say hello and goodbye. I was called for Jury duty for the first time last year, I'm a full time student, and I tried to get out of it being a student. Finding that wasn't good enough I rescheduled to my class break and called and checked in and simply wasn't called. I liked this list, and it is a well researched opinion on Jury Duty. I do need to answer a few of the accusations. Jury Duty is not one of the things that was fought for in the founding of America, it was already an established practice in Britan by the 1700s. Also, the current way Jury Duty is handled is a travesty. You are told that being on the Jury is just as important as the Judge and Attorneys who are a part of the process, yet they do not recompense you like a judge or lawyer is paid. If the Jury is important than the Jurors should be paid to reflect that instead of being given enough to pay their gas( roughly $16 -- $20 a day as of last year). If I was paid $70 -- $120
