Bloody Jury Service

[NickFitz]

This might work, if you don't mind being fined for contempt. That and dressing as a woman for the day.

£100 fine - bargin, if only it would be that small for the likes of us.

I enjoyed my two weeks jury service.

I didn't bother claiming the expenses; it amounted to about 39 minutes of my rate at the time.

I'm one of those sad bunnies who believes that if you want trial by jury, sometimes you have to do jury service.

I wouldn't mind doing 2 weeks. A long trial could have us out on the street.

If the trial is likely to last more than 2 weeks, then they will ask you at the start of it what kind of impact that would have on you.

Shame you can't volunteer for it during bench time, really.

No kidding.

Now would be an ideal time for me to be called for Jury service as I'm pootling about with some plan B and part time contract stuff that can wait. If I got called during a major contract I'd be losing a lot of money and my projects would fall apart even more than they do when I'm there.

But the judge said "My first view was to send you to prison"

So probably not the best choice!

My guess would be claiming to know the accused, e.g. we once had a bar brawl / disagreement so I'm not comfortable being on the jury ...

[Clippy]

You can get out of it once can't you? Is that once ever or once every X years though?

Once each time you are asked I would imagine.
