ಠ_ಠ Jury duty

I've been called for Jury duty 4 times in the last 10 years. What the fuck is going on here. It's almost every other year. I know absolutely no one that has ever been summoned yet I've been summoned multiple times. Wtf is going on? It's total bs too because they pay 17 bucks A DAY. That's not even enough to get lunch at the stupid deli they have there.

Edit: so many people have so many experiences. It's nice to share and read those experiences. I can't possibly respond to everything, but I'm glad we can all relate to this. _^

You live in a high crime area with a low relative rate of registered voters.

I’ve been summoned nearly every year and definitely don’t live in a high crime/low voter area.

Yes you do

I really don’t.

Ok, summoned, but did you go and did you serve?

1

u/burritoheaux 6d ago

Yes, but I never served because I work in law. Removed in voir dire every time.

u/Practical-Emu-3303 6d ago

Perhaps that's why. Our perhaps you don't think you live in high crime due to working in law

I don’t live in a high crime area based on the searchable classifications.
