In response to "Oh, for jury duty. They dismissed the lawyer guy. Of course. But they also dismissed the other recent college grad. And another guy that is probably " by James Bond (aka Igor)

They never let the law-talkin'-dudes stay on jury duty!

I'd call shenanigans and discrimination, but I don't want to serve on jury duty anytime soon, so I won't.

  - I see, good point. I am off to sleep now, but I am curious what you think about a system that uses career jurors. - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 8, 00:03 3
    - It's an interesting concept, and I'm not entirely opposed to it. At all. - ReluctantCynic Jul 8, 00:30 2
      - Last I checked, voting wasn't mandatory either. :P nm - ralph wiggum Jul 8, 00:38 1

nor do they ever let cops - 'lia Jul 7, 23:50 2
- Well, I believe cops are actually exempt. Almost every other juror said that they knew a cop or had one in the family and they didn't get kicked off. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 7, 23:52 1
  - cops are, their families aren't - 'lia Jul 7, 23:58
