I think OP probably decided what to wear THREE YEARS AGO right after she started this thread.

Why do you dolts dredge up old posts?

What does this even mean?! Some of you are so odd.


If you got to most courthouse websites, it states that you should dress to show respect upon the court.

If you show up to court looking presentable, I've seen judges go much easier than those who show up in ripped up jeans and tees. This is especially true for young people.

You don't have to wear a full suit or even spend money you don't have; but put on some pants without holes and a shirt other than a tee.

Can I wear "nice"jeans and a sweater or is that not allowed? Yay civic duty and all but really would love to be sent home for good at the end of the day.


If only you could avoid getting picked in DC wearing jeans! They'll even take lawyer's spouses in DC. Too many trials to get picky.


Hopefully not for the case the lawyer is trying. Also lawyers, and judges.

And they make you sit crammed in next to each other with sneeze and cough germs floating through the air. Ick.

Fuck that shit. This isn't an issue for me, because DC allows jeans, but I have a casual workplace and am not interested in participating in the courtroom-as-theater thing. Citizens get rounded up and detained to sit on a glorified focus group. Don't like being target practice for the attorneys' sophistry, but I'll (reluctantly) deal. No way I'm wearing a freaking costume to do it.

I find lawyers have what seems to me to be a very high tolerance for empty ceremony. And they're willing to engage in excessive demonstrations of deference toward judges and even police officers. Not me.


You are truly a horrible person. Most countries in this world crave a system of justice like we are privileged to have in America.


You are truly too invested in appearances and empty words.

I saw a lot of people asleep in the cowpen when I "served" a couple of weeks ago. It occurred to me that they were likely night shift workers who were still commanded to give up their sleeping hours to participate in the Ceremony.

I got called twice and picked twice, both times for murder trials. Good luck with that. I don't think what you wear matters - I've seen all kinds on my juries.
