Are there anyone who's exempt from jury duty, for example because of their profession?
Would it be possible to have Judge Judy sitting in a jury?

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.

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.

Lmao I did the same thing and got assigned to sit in for a 2 week case. Wack

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

I got the jury duty notice once when I was like 19, promptly forgot about it, and haven't heard anything since. This was about 15 years ago.

That was probably because they brokered a deal between prosecution and defense, and the jury was not needed. You’re supposed to check the website in the morning to make sure you’re needed. You probably just got very very lucky.

I want to say this was before everything was fully online, but it's been so long that I have no idea. I still find it odd that I haven't heard a peep since (not that I'm complaining).

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe. Still might have been a call in to check thing or something like that.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That's sounds more like it lol

Add military to the list if you are stationed away from where you are called to serve.
