best way to get out of jury duty?
 

????

im not sure saying 'i am anti-religious and the display of "in god we trust" in the courtroom violates the very roots of my beliefs' will work, but im gonna use that crap as a last resort.

you ever get out of jury duty? how?

join the army

tell them you know the person or you are racist(they cannot pick people who are racist or who would have some kind of bias)

heh. i am, as they told me, "permanently disqualified for military enlistment"

:thumbsup

why do want to get out of doing it?

awesome. Sounds so easy!

What notice?

You could always use the eye for an eye excuse. Tell them something like because the guy is in court, it must mean he is guilty. So no matter what you will say he is guilty.

lol, ok, i got farther then that, maybe i should have said some bullshit then, but, i never was summoned for jury duty before so when i got the thing in the mail i read into the whole 'if you dont fill this shit out you go to jail' bit too seriously, lol, so i filled the questions out online. Next week I get another notice sayin I am now selected and have to appear on June 6th, call a day b4 to confirm. :( I think it would be more fun to go, then blurt out at high decibel some random obsecenities, then tell them i forgot to fill out on the form i have 'tourettes'.

Tell them your prior commitments at GFY are of importance to national security that require you to be out of town at that time. But, you can make it a week from next Tuesday.

last time I got a jury duty notice I was really busy so I just wrote them a note saying that I am self employed and have no employees to do the work for me and that being on jury duty and away from work would harm my business and they excused me.

commit suicide, you may as well, just like burger king the world doesnt want you around for very much longer.

Usually everytime I get asked to do jury duty it's for an old address that I just moved from so I'm no longer in that county.

Tell them your religious beliefs will not let you judge others......works every time.

Judges are wise to all the excuses people try to use to get out of jury duty. Do it the other way around... act extremely anxious to be on the jury. Tell them you've been itching to be on a jury because you are a major fan of CourtTV and as a result you have developed a 6th sense of who's guilty or not just from their body language and thrilled at the chance to contribute your abilities to get the scum off the street... be sure the lawyers hear you. Good luck! :upsidedow

Just tell them the truth. You have no interest in contributing to your community, you don't feel any sense of responsibility or have any wish to do anything that isn't in your own specifc self-interests, and you've decided that since you don't want to do your part in any way for your country, you've now decided to move to another country that you DO wish to be a part of.... or Antarctica, where you can live alone and not be forced to involve yourself with anyone else at all

He's already in the right place then, isn't he? :winkwink:

tell them your in the porn industry.

I think its stupid to get out of jury duty. People put so little regard to it. I just hope if I ever need a jury that I won't have idiots on it that don't want to be there.

Egg-zactly. It is your civic duty really. Not a responsibility to be taken lightly. Some even consider it an honor, but those are the people the rest of us poke fun at. :D


If someone really REALLY wants out though, what you have to do is have yourself mentally prepared. A lawyer is going to ask you a series of questions at some point in order to test your suitability. If you're sharp you'll be able to come up with several answers that will sour them on the idea of approving you.

Tell them that you believe that if the cops arrested them, then they are guilty.

If it is civil, the victim should be paid.

not true, they will pick you for a white guys trial or whatever color you are not racist against, unless you hate everybody which wouldnt make you a racist in the first place

i once tried saying that i did not believe in the principles of the jury system (ie. being tried by your peers) and didnt feel that i could convict anybody as a juror, they still picked me :upsidedow

If you are white tell them you are in the klan. :1orglaugh

if it was a day or 2 i could handle it, but i can see why somebody wouldnt want to be stuck on a jury for a 10 year tax trial or something, which can always happen... i am too important to the economy to be taken out of circulation like that for any extended period of time... let some deadbeat take my place

that is perjury, unless you really are in the klan, they can imprison you on the spot for criminal contempt for saying something dumb like that

Just say you are a pornographer or are in the entertainment industry.

They hate pornographers & entertainers.

Say if the police arrested him/her then they must be guilty.

I agree.

However, I also think there should be professional jurists instead of the system we have now which basically gets you those who weren't smart enough to figure out how to get out of it as a the "jury of your peers".

go serve its your duty as a citzen

Go to Office Depot or Staples and buy yourself some of those t-shirt inkjet iron-ons. Then put this onto a shirt, wear it during jury selection and you're golden! :thumbsup

Do a search on google for "how to get out of jury duty" :D

wear a tshirt that says 'kill them all...let god sort them out"

The one time a criminal record would come in handy, if you have one.

Tell them you're dreaming of becoming a politician or a Hollywood actor..

Tell them that you can tell if a person's guilty just by lookin' at them.

:winkwink:

Shave your head and draw a swastika on your forehead

Then them you'd be a perfect jury, cause you can spot guilty people on sight

Show up in ballerina outfit and start peeing in your pants with a proud baby smile.
