on 9/10/2009 Never in this article do I suggest trying to get out of jury duty. This article is about “preparing” for jury duty so that you can do a good job while serving.

on 9/9/2009 I was an actual juror 3 times in Denver. It was such an honor to be a part of the judicial system that I completely forgot about the 10 times I had to wait all day. Don't get out of it! A day away from work and meeting new people is a neat experience. rewrite your article, it has potential.

on 6/21/2007 How is this helping us get out of Jury duty? I don't think you should try to get out of Jury duty unless you have a valid reason. Some valid reasons may include a death in the immediate family, a life threatening emergency, or a vested interest in the case being presented.

on 10/23/2006 Great advice, but if you want to get out of jury duty, answer every question with "because I said so your honor." If you're pressured to say something different, tell them you're a disciple of osama been lyin' and that they're all evil shoers. Tell them have some nerve wearing hush puppies to court. You can thank me once you're free.
