Jury duty

[Cr33p3r]

Been called 8 times in the last 20 years and sat on three jury's, I hate it anymore and I have a statement I use so I do not have to do it any longer. As of the last time when I used it I haven't been called again.

Seems like once they call you, they keep calling you. I have been called several times, but never picked.

If your registered to vote, Your registered for jury duty..

Seems like the concensus is that of avoiding jury duty. I was actually happy to be selected and enjoyed the overall experience. My employer compensated me fully for it, even beyond their 3-day obligation. $50/day from the State/County only compensates me for about an hour of real work, lol.

I'm enjoying it thoroughly. Very ,very interesting case. Defense begins tomorrow.

What type of case (or can't you say just yet)?

[ExplorerTom]

I've heard if you want to serve- call and say you can't for some reason. I've heard that you get bumped to the top of the list and your number will get called the next time. Whether you get selected by the lawyers is another thing.

Ive been summoned once but my group wasn't called.

Jury duty is over. Left the courthouse at 9:30 PM.

This was a complicated case. It involved a $700,000 lawsuit by a couple who lost everything during the 4 mile fire. They had a home in sunshine canyon. The suit was against the insurance agent, the agency, and American Family Insurance. We had 41 pages of Jury instructions and 5 verdicts to render.

They included fraud, negligence, incompetence, bad faith.


One thing I learned is read and understand your insurance policies and ALWAYS attend any personal insurance reviews.

I served on a jury in Grass Valley, Calif., in the 1990s. Enjoyed it. Summoned twice in the 15 years I've lived in Boulder County. One pleaded out during jury selection. I'd do it again.

I enjoyed it immensely except staying until 9:30 pm. Wouldn't want to do it every year but would love to do it again. Major life experience!

Glad you enjoyed the experience. How many people on the jury, and what did the jury decide?

[Tom]

7 jurors. 4 verdicts against the plantiff. Found for the plaintiff 1 time but 600,000 less than they wanted.
