      Just tell them you are self-employed and that it would be a financial hardship. You don't have to mention porn.

        I am one of those that feel you should do jury duty whenever called. Yeah it sucks and yeah it takes up valuable time. I just want to do my part and I hope that if I am ever sitting in the defendants chair again that I too will get like minded people and not those who were not intellegent enough to find a way to wiggle out of it deciding my fate.

          Have you ever been robbed?

          Yes.

          Does that make you predjudice against anyone being tried for robbery?

          Hang 'em all.

          Your Honor, we'd like to excuse juror #4

                That's the problem. you ARE stuck with people that were not smart enough to get out of jury duty. Kind of scary.

                    I was called for Jury duty, but there were so many of us as potential candidates that they filled the roster before they ever got to asking me any questions. Not a big deal at all!

                      I have faith in my reality that there are some people out there like myself who want to do their part in the legal process.

                        I got a letter that I have to fill out, or fill out on the web, or answer on a phone call.
                        It's like a pre-summons questionaire thing. I REALLY wish this had gotten lost in the mail or something! grrr I dont want to deal with it.

                            I just went. I was there one day and they settled all the cases I was done by lunchtime. Don't have to go again for 6 years.

                              I don't see financial hardship listed there.

                                  Last time I was summoned I sat in the waiting room for 8 hours, then they said the judges were done for the day and sent me home. At least I don't have to do that again for a few years, complete waste of time.

                                      Agreed.

                                      I was selected and served on a trial last week. Honestly, the whole experience was great! I found the case quite interesting, and would certainly do it again. Much like a real life "law and order" where I got to decide the outcome of these people's lives. I did my part to society and was on my way!

                                      What I found funny were the people there obviously trying to get out of duty during the selection. The lawyers really laid into them as if they were on the stand themselves! I was seriously embarrassed for them! The lawyers were obviously out to make them look stupid for trying to weasel out of service.

                                      I'd say do it... You may enjoy yourself!

                                          Its better to go in and talk about government conspiracies and how the criminal justice system always fails, how insurance companies and big companies always take people and how some people deserve to be murded, robbed, raped and/or stabbed. The state will kick you off in a heartbeat, as they'll be worried you'd aquit.

                                              I just went last tuesday. Had to walk three blocks from juror parking, then sat in a room till 10:45 when they told half of the people to go to lunch till 1:30

                                              the rest of us sat there untill 11:30, then they said we were done, go home and thanks for coming. I never saw a court room or talked to a lawyer or judge. then had to walk 3 blocks back to my truck. Next time, I'm calling in, I'm not walking 6 blocks round trip. If they cant do better than that for people like me with steel plates and screws in my knee then I'm simply not going. Shouldnt have to go thru pain to be a juror.

                                                  I've done it, and had to visit scene of the crime. Got put up in a really swanky hotel. Happy Dayz.

                                                  I really enjoyed the whole experience.

                                                      I got summoned about a month ago for right around Phoenix Forum. I simply told them I would be out of town on business and they let me go, no problem.

                                                      However, while I do agree I wouldn't mind sitting on a jury, it's my feeling that jurors should be paid accordingly. The judge, lawyers, bailiffs and everyone else is getting THEIR regular wage and I AM paying my taxes (which is another "Civic duty").

                                                      I'm not talking about paying me my regular wage, but not being paid ANYTHING for five days and then $20 per day for the duration is utter bullshit. Minimum wage should be the LEAST amount jurors are paid for their time.

                                                        I can imagine how it would suck to be confined away from your family until the case is over
