直言和慌大夫Want to get out of jury duty，其道不孤。
Just remember. It's not a lie if you believe it。
突然发现月大律师痛斥直言和慌大夫Want to get out of jury duty是知识分子欺诈。我不太关心中文网的纠纷，更加关心经济形势，一段时间前读市场观察的时候偶然浏览过这篇文章。谣传月大律师不是美国公民，对直言和慌大夫的义愤来得有点丈二金刚摸不到头脑。不过既然有这义愤，更应该痛斥这个洋女人，不要被洋女人吓到。

。。。“There’s an old joke: Would you trust your fate to 12 people who couldn’t figure out how to get out of jury duty?
But even if you don’t have those types of excuses, you’re not welcome on a jury if you’re overly opinionated or biased. “If it’s the truth, say you can’t be fair and impartial,” said Marshall Isaacs, a New York-based litigator. “They can’t keep you then. It’s really that easy.

“The bottom line is if you really want to get off jury duty, you can,” ”。。。

People go to great lengths to get out of jury duty but it’s really not that hard

CHICAGO (MarketWatch) — Looking for an excuse to get out of jury duty?

Try this one: Tell the judge you have tickets to one of Oprah Winfrey’s last tapings of her eponymous top-rated talk show that’s going off the air after 25 years. It worked for a Chicago-area woman late last month who was let off a 12-person jury for the corruption retrial of impeached Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

U.S. District Judge James Zagel considered rescheduling the trial around the so-called Oprah Juror’s four May 10 tickets, but conceded even “that seems a little over the top.”

The story underscores a societal dilemma: People go to great lengths to shirk jury duty. Most excuses are less creative: doctor’s order, child-care issues, work that can’t be missed, a planned once-in-a-lifetime vacation. But though judges aren’t insensitive to personal issues, they don’t always buy them.

“The knee-jerk reaction of everyone is ‘this is an inconvenience to me,’” said Circuit Court Judge Kenneth Popejoy, who presides in DuPage County, Ill. “Jury duty is an inconvenience. And we all have life reasons not to go. But if everyone who had an excuse got off, who would we be left with?”

It’s the law, and a privilege too
Nuisance or not, serving on a jury is, by law, a civic responsibility you must fulfill. Jurors are chosen at random through state databases of names, such as voter registration and driver’s licenses. Potential jurors fill out questionnaires and then face further scrutiny by judges and attorneys before selection to the jury in a process called voir dire.

You could face civil or even criminal penalties if you skip a notice to appear at jury duty or get caught lying to get out of it.

“Most people know that jury service is, in fact, a privilege and that a jury notice is a legal notice,” said David Bookstaver, spokesman for the Unified Court System of New York. “If you ignore it, there are real consequences.” Among them: arrest, jail time and/or hefty fines.

Jury duty has long had a bad rap because of notoriously inefficient court systems that would keep people waiting for hours or days before being told if they were on a jury. Jury duty also can be exhausting and pressure-packed, depending on the alleged crime and the ultimate punishment.

But it’s the wasted time and lost wages that prompt people to dream up ways to avoid jury duty. A popular one, for example, is to claim there is a language barrier. In New York, a court clerk became known for asking potential candidates if anyone didn’t speak English. When a number of hands rose, he would wonder how they understood what he was asking if they didn’t speak English and why they were reading local newspapers
