Reasons why I cant go to jury duty (serious)
    #26778011 - 06/23/20 10:29 PM (3 years, 7 months ago)

They want me to go to jury duty. I really want to go to be honest, but theyll pay me like 50$ for 4 days work... so Ill be missing out on all those work hours. My GF and I are scheming up a olan, give us some suggestions. I genuinely want to go, but thats alot of money.

If you really can’t afford to do your civic duty....

Tell the truth.

I’ve never been called for Jury Duty, I don’t know why..:shrug:

I think they give you a test first to make sure you aren’t mentally unstable or have ‘less than ideal’ viewpoints....just fail that test.

Have never been called either, not sure if it's because of prior misdemeanors when I was younger or what. I'd assume if you really can't afford to, that's a valid reason to get off jury duty itself, though I could be wrong.

Have always wanted to be a juror for someone getting charged with several pounds of mushrooms though.

Just tell them you used to be in a cult that imbibed hallucinogens frequently.  I’d imagine that would make them think twice about wanting you .

Just log into the website the night before and they will most likely let you off.


I've gotten the Jury summons a whole lot.

ask how stoned you are allowed to be during court, or say that black lives dont matter

Call up the court and let the clerk know it'll cause you undue financial hardship. I got called once but was traveling a lot for work and they were super nice about it and took me off before I even got to the selection process. Honestly anytime I've been confused about anything the people who work as clerks have always been super nice and are totally willing to just answer questions and clear things up to the best of their ability.

I know in my state you can postpone your jury duty once per year, you just call or go the website. Usually you don't even end up getting called back that year... I've never had to go

I simply tell the judge that my being out of the classroom would cause significant stress on my staff and students with severe special needs.

Would recommend 10/10, works every time.

Of course, you may want to pick up a special ed teaching license and position with a local school district just in case the judge tries to call you out.

I just tell them that I have a tapeworm and that it should also get an opinion in the case. Fair judgement for all tapeworms. Or that me being in the case was not in " the prophesy ":crazy2::rocket:

When I went for Jury Duty people who advised that they will lose needed income the judge offered to up their pay for being there.

The people that said "No that wont be enough" were released.

I just waited till they sent me a second letter threatening me.
Then sent my info.

I figured if I manipulated them by making the appearance of being irresponsible they would just exclude me.
Seemed to work.
I wanted to go but just covering gas wasn't enough to make up for my time and wear 'n' tare on the car.

The US, late 2019.

It's incentive to keep people there.  Almost everybody there is trying to get out of it so they will make offers to get you to change your mind.  Unless the reason you want to leave is because you don't think that you will be able to offer an unbiased opinion.  For example if you have had a traumatic experience in the past and the case that you would judge is relatable to your prior experience, they won't want you judging anybody lol.
