[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=nannydebsays][quote=Anonymous]Parents, I've been a nanny for 15 years and I would never prioritize jury duty over your family and you should allow your nannies too either.[/quote]

So you've never been called for jury duty? How? Are you an illegal immigrant, not registered to vote, or just oddly lucky?

Because refusing to report to jury duty repeatedly tends to get you tossed in jail, and being absent on a contempt of court charge also disrupts your employers lives, right?

Out of the 10 million people in DC alone, how common do you tihnk it is to be called to jury?[/quote]

Do you realize that people can be called to county, state and federal district court?  Do you realize that the average trial requires going through at least 30 people (usually many, many more) to find jurors and alternates?  Do you have any idea how many trials are conducted in any one county court in one month (rural), let alone any courts in the DC area?[/quote]

There is a high profile murder use in my state that called 250 people to jury duty. May 2nd will be the 16th day of the selection process, and lawyers have agreed on 37 jurors of the 42 needed to comprise the final jury pool. Juror 91 will be questioned on May 2nd.

A lot of the time jury duty means calling in at night and not having to report the next morning. Occasionally that isn't the case.
