Question

THE IMPORTANCE OF JURY DUTY As we head into the end of the finals and get prepared for the fina...can you believe it?1 your last activity for the semester. Woot wooott! his will be Since judges and justices are not elected, we sometimes consider the courts removed from the public however, this is not always the case, and there are times when average citizens may get involved with the courts firsthand as part of their decision-making process at either the state or federal levels. At some point, if you haven't already been called, you may receive a summons for jury duty from your local court system. You may be asked to serve on federal jury duty, such as U.S. district court duty or federal grand jury duty, but service at the local level, in the state court system, is much more common. While your first reaction may be to start planning a way to get out of it, participating in jury service is vital to the operation of the judicial system, because it provides individuals in court the chance to be heard and to be tried fairly by a group of their peers. And jury duty has benefits for those who serve as well. You will no doubt come away better informed about how the judicial system works and ready to share your experiences with others. Who knows? You might even get an unexpected surprise, as some citizens in Dallas, Texas did recently when former President George W. Bush showed up to serve jury duty with them.

Explanation / Answer

No. But, I guess there will be a very long form to be filled asking if I knew any of the lawyers, defendant, or witnesses (there will be many of them), and that how I felt about the death penalty. I expected to be kicked out because I am opposed to the death penalty, I think, if the case is too rough and hard to digest, then it would take about a week to adjust and come back to a normal life. Advice which i would like to give is to be balanced and do not be partial. Think with all the possible factors and hear out both sides with full concentration.
