Dazo Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I currently have accommodation and travel all waiting for the final click to confirm the bookings. I am due to start Jury Service on the 23rd of August. What do you do ? Can you get out of jury service ? Chances of getting picked ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambojack Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 If you turn up at court smartly dressed - suit, collar and tie etc you might not get selected. The defence will think that you are a "guilty" verdict and not pick you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turn up in your best clobber, buttonhole in and carrying a copy of the daily mail prominently and you will be home within the hour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teuchterjambo Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I currently have accommodation and travel all waiting for the final click to confirm the bookings. I am due to start Jury Service on the 23rd of August. What do you do ? Can you get out of jury service ? Chances of getting picked ? I've just been excused Jury Duty later in the year as I will be on holiday but had to supply invoices/confirmation paperwork. Anything other than that or a Doc's certificate is dodgy - actual chances of getting picked is about 1 in 4 maybe 1 in 5 depending on how many called actually make it on the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gershwin Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Befriend the defendant on facebook. Means you'll make the game and you can deal with the contempt of court trial later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Fredrickson Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 When I served on a Jury, 2 folk were excused for childcare/parent care reasons. Say no-one else is available and you cant afford to pay for caring for them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Chat Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Just don't turn up. Loads of people do it and there's never any come-back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shapes Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I got excused in February. Was going to London on the thursday and was due to start jury duty on the monday. Each day went past and it kept getting put back a day. On the wednesday I told them I was going to London on the thursday and they took me off the list. Asked me to send confirmation but I never and nothing ever came of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually that could be the way to go, tell them on the Tuesday that I am due to fly on Thursday and will likely get taken off the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
