The one time I wanted to sit on the jury, they dismissed me because I was a subject matter expert on the specific subject they were trying (and testified regularly before the court on the subject) and they didn’t want me dominating the jury. It was a federal fraud case and I am a better witness than the feds had gotten, just I’m very, very expensive.

But I usually do state superior court. Federal district court? That was exciting. I’m still a little grumpy I didn’t get seated in that one. I was even willing to promise to behave myself (and even willing to keep that promise too, federal court is different than state court)

not all, like voting, some of us take it seriously.
