Come now, it is your citizenry duty to serve as a jurist. Do it with pride.To those in Murica, how did you avoid it? What excuses did you use?

What is the case about? Civil or criminal?
I enjoy following legal cases for relevance and interest.
That is the core principle of one's case being determined by h(er)is equals and contemporaries. You will be provided with instructions, guided through the process, and advised to be impartial. It is imperfect, yet one of the fairest in the world. Believe it or not.It is a broken system. That is why I don't want to serve. Ordinary people should not be a jury. People who are professionals in the field should weigh the evidence. Many minorities end up in jail 'cause dumb and racist white jury keep convicting them.

They thoroughly interview you before hand. They look at your job, history etc. Usually old retired white women get selected to sit on the jury.American judiciary is a weird place. Even niggas who flips the burgers in a fast food restaurant is summoned to serve in a jury. These fuckers then decide someone's fate.
I can't lie, I am biased towards Somalis, Muslims, African immigrants, AAs, and beautiful white women. Especially, if the accused is a white woman and she is beautiful, I could just be steering at her without looking at the evidence. So not sure why would the court taking chances with me.

You get paid $ 50 per day and your life can be a living hell. Sometimes you canβt call your family or anyone for weeks. You can also have a target on your back regardless of what judgement you render.Iβd milk it for as long as possible to get paid time off, if the person is guilty af Iβll be only one arguing theyβre not, and if they not guilty Iβll argue the opposite.
5 star hotel plus paid time off and you getting to bashal and make cadaans seethe, you won my nigga
This is incredibly rare and highly unlikely.You get paid $ 50 per day and your life can be a living hell. Sometimes you canβt call your family or anyone for weeks. You can also have a target on your back regardless of what judgement you render.
YupThis is incredibly rare and highly unlikely.
And the fact that OP is capable of developing a philosophical objection to the common law jury is *precisely why* he should serve. If it prevents him from keeping his job or something that would be a sufficient reason to be removed from the jury pool anyway. He wouldn't need a fake excuse
Sorry, I edited it to clarify that employers can't fire you for serving, but I imagine there might be rare circumstances where a specific person's presence at work is critical or something. Like the one guy who knows how some part of a nuclear plant works or something
