I completely agree!! I’ve always wanted to do it! I would have been pumped before having this baby!

Aww that stinks. I'm someone who'd be excited to get selected for jury duty as well so I could imagine the slight disappointment here. I'm sure you'll get selected again.

I keep getting called but they were always settled before I even got into the courtroom. I'm a paralegal, they need to stop asking me.

Oh wow I never considered that. I went to school for poli Sci and have considered getting my paralegal certification. Also trying to get a job in the court house and it took your comment for me to realize that may make future trips to jury duty a non-starter.

I went once, sat for four hours and wasn't selected. Got my fancy 12 dollar check a couple weeks later. But I enjoyed the experience getting to see the court process in action.

So anyone working in the justice system shouldn't be a juror?
