It is your civic duty as an American to serve on a jury of your peers. Only terrorists and assholes would try to get out of it.

Just pick a stance and be very extreme about it.

I got called as soon as I turned 18. Got stuck on a medical malpractice case for a month and a half. Prayers sent.

do you live in a very populated area, if not, good luck, you will probably be picked for something

Be related to the arresting officers, have your bil be related to the Ada. Have the judge be your little league coach.

Just do it. Chances are you will learn something.

Easiest way to get out of jury duty: tell them you are an engineer. Neither side wants a jury full of people thinking logically and rationally, it means their case has to be that much more solid.
Ain't the justice system grand?

My first Jury Duty was after Game 3 of the 2010 Playoff series Braves vs the Giants. I slammed my flask after Heinske's Home Run. Then we lost so we drank and drank and drank. Had to wake up at 5 am to make it on time. Threw up in the parking lot on the way in. Sat next to the team Mom of one of my Pee Wee teams she talked and talked about her kids and how good it was to see me.
If I can make it through that, Im pretty sure you can do it.

I was summoned once, but it was for a county I no longer lived in.

When they are asking you things tell them you think the system is corrupt and biased and that you do not believe in the justice system. You will be DQd in a nanosecond. I've been called up 2 times for jury duty and I've done that and gotten out really fast

You could try the Lemon method:

My grandfather got summoned one summer when I was 9 or 10. I was visiting with him at the time he had to go in and he took me with him. We went to the court house, I sat downstairs by the receptionist, and he went upstairs. About three minutes later he strolls back down and says let's go. I told him that was fast and he was the first person to be done. He then says "I know the lawyers and they know and I know that I'm too damn old to be bothered with this. Now lets go to the coffee table."
And there's your cs for the day

As a person with some felony arrests I lobbied hard to not lose my civil rights. I was thankful to serve federal jury duty last September. Just show up it's gonna take maybe 2-3 days of your work week, boohoo

I've been summoned 5 times. Served 4 times before I was 26. The last one was a little over a yr ago. Self employeed now, so they excused me from it.
If you're not self employeed, go and do it. If you get a case, you'll learn something about the judicial system. Of the times I went:
Served on a grand jury - 3 weeks, first week for three consecutive months
Served on a District Court case - 3 hrs into trial, plea bargain reached, excused to go home on a Tuesday
Served on a Federal criminal court - dismissed on Wed after not being called
Served on a District Court case - dismissed on Wed after not being called
Be sure to take plenty of reading material.

I was called as soon as I moved to Baton Rouge and was called every two years, almost to the day, after that for a while. Went & sat in the jury pool room for approximately 3 days every time & was never called except once, when I actually got picked for a home invasion armed robbery trial that involved a five-year-old boy. We sent the POS to Angola for 40 years. The only time I ever got out of it, I had the flu & got my doctor to fax the judge.

Tell them you hate black people. Instant dismissal.

Tell them that you believe that the court system is bullshite and that everyone should be released.

Tell them you make your decisions based on a gut feeling and you don't even have to hear the testimony to know if someone is guilty or innocent. They will let you right off.
