Answer 1

Be seen out and about with the prisoners family and friends

Answer 2

1. Become a lawyer or police officer.

2. Have you own company that will go bust if you serve.

3. Ask your doctor to certify as insane.

How about this...

QUIT WHINING ABOUT IT AND JUST GO AND DO YOUR CIVIC DUTY!!

Answer 9

Step in front of a bus.  It gets you out of your civic duty, and will get you what you probably deserve for wanting to get out of that duty.

You're never allowed to complain about OJ or Phil Spector verdicts, by the way.

claim you have formed an opinion all ready. If you are a fireman you can be excused. if you have a medical problem,too.

Answer 18

Why would you not want to do jury duty?  Are you that lazy?  Would you rather have a corrupt judge decide your case?  You have no appreciation of the rights you have in your hands.

Easy - just leave the country and move somewhere that does not have jury trials.

Then hope you never get arrested for something.

Get a hernia operation the day before.

As far as it goes here in Canada, the only way not to go is to be admitted in a hospital or sick at home with a doctors note. Besides, if you miss it (for a valid reason) they just stick you back on the list for another trial.

Answer 22

Have your boss write a note saying that they cannot be without you in the office for a week.

Answer 23

if the defendent is coloured/ a woman/ jewish, pretend to be a hater- everyone will think you're a bad person, but you'll get out of jury duty.  seriously, one of my friends just pretended to be an out and out racist, and they wouldn't let her sit.

Answer 24

Show medical reasons.

Answer 25

have you thought about getting a criminal record???? worked for me lol

Answer 26

I can tell you how I got out of jury duty, but I am not sure it will work in your case.  I have a Service Dog, because I am Hearing Impaired. When I received the notice, I wrote back and said that my dog and I would be there.  They immediately sent me a letter excusing me.

Actually, if I could have served, I would have.  You might find it a good experience, and employers are not allowed to fire you for your jury duty absence.

Answer 27

Personally, I think its a good thing to have done.

Most states allow you to defer a certain number of times.

Answer 28

If ask you can be impartial say  no.

Answer 29

I HAVE NO IDEA, WE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM! lol--- just... kill yourself! only joking! urm, tell them u have kids to look after or something, but it most likely won't work, just hang on there..
