I would ike to be selected for Jury duty, how?

Question

I wan't to check it out. Its sounds boring but entertaining. But I never get picked. Is there a way to get an in?

Answer 1

When I showed up the first time for selection, the court clerk said that if someone asked to serve on a jury, a visit from the police and/or sheriff's office was in order. I'm not sure they follow up on any such cases, but the clerk apparently thought the issue was worth mentioning.

Answer 2

Afraid not, They are picked by voter registration and/or drivers license, depends on the state. You can not volunteer.  Wish one could, I have served and it is not boring it is a very great experience one that makes you understand the court system and the power we have.

Answer 3

To be summoned to jury duty is one thing, but since both the defense attorney and the prosecutor decide who they want on the jury in a case, it is up to them.  They go by the way you answer their questions, regarding that case.

Answer 4

No, it's a luck of the draw and then it depends on the case and the jury selection.

Answer 5

Nope. It is random. It is pretty interesting though!

Answer 6

Most states select potential jurors from registered voter lists and secretary of state driver's license lists.  Register to vote and keep your address up-to-date on your driver's license and voter's registration card.  That's the only way to increase your chance.

Answer 7

You know you can just go to the court house and sit and watch a case?

Even if you're picked, it doesnt mean you will be on the Jury. The Lawyers have Voir Dire where they ask questions and will throw out jurors who they feel will be Bias.

But who knows, call the courthouse, they may let you.

Answer 8

Wait your turn.

Answer 9

I've been a registered voter for 31 years. Never picked. My older brother was a jury member on a murder trial in Hawaii.

As a Captain in the USMC I did get to run a couple of Summary Courts Martials. I got to be judge, jury and executioner. BONK BONK ON THE HEAD!

Answer 10

I'm 30 years old and have been selected twice.  First time, they didn't even ask me any questions, and so I didn't get chosen.  What a boring day.

Second time, I was having (serious enough) health problems that would have interfered with the trial, so I told them about it and I didn't go.
