In my jurisdiction the only ones formally exempted from jury duty are those who are employed in the courtrooms: judges, bailiffs, and court reporters.

There are several other occupations that, while not formally exempt, are almost guaranteed to result in you not being picked: law enforcement, child protective services, district attorney office, criminal defense attorney.

I’m exempt from jury duty! Not because of my job though.

Maybe they consider it my job though. I was exempted for being the only caretaker for someone with a permanent disability.

Which is funny because he’s not exempted lmfao

Hell, both times I was actually asked to come in, they dismissed me just for having friends who were cops.

But you could still be asked to serve if the case was civil and did not involve cops. There are many reasons you can be dismissed, but it varies wildly from one case to the next.

Funny, both times I’ve been summoned they dismissed me for stating (honestly) that I hate cops in general and would not be impartial at all.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

  • Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
