Summons for Jury Duty (Federal)....HELP!

I got a summons for Federal District Court Jury Duty today. I normally don't mind jury duty too much but it's for the entire months of May and June, and we already have a family vacation planned for the middle of June. Vacation time approved off for both my wife and I, and it's really the only chance we'll get all summer with our boys. Any suggestions on how to get out of it or at least for that week?

Just comment to others that you don't need to hear the case because the defendent is gulity. Make sure your bias gets back to the defense lawyer.

Talk to your work and see if your employer will be paying you during those 2 months at jury duty. If not, then I'd say you have a legit excuse to get out of it: Can't pay bills unless you work, can't work if you have to be at jury duty!

yes, just go in with the attitude everyone should get "the chair". Defense lawyers will be pretty sure YOU ARE NOT on the jury.

He'd fit right in with federal anything then....


Just tell them you don't need the facts. You'll pray about your decisions. That'll get you tossed every time.

On the jury summons form one of the questions is:

Do you speak, read and write the English language?

Since when does that matter?

Nothing else matters if it is conducted in English. Most government agencies either post signs in foreign languages or are required to get interpreters...

When you go in start yelling tits, tell 'em you have Coprolalia (the spontaneous utterance of socially objectionable or taboo words or phrases) is the most publicized symptom of Tourette's. Pretty sure that'll get you out of it
