[°Xomat°]

can we have an exact quote on whats on the letter or what

but for edgy people
have your mom hide from the law
or make up a scenario where she HAS to stay home

[Jokey365]

Dad has to do the same.
It's the law.

um... yes.  this is part of american life.  if you are summoned to act as a juror, you have to unless you don't fit whatever specific bias checks for the case (i think).  haven't had any experience with jury duty yet at 17.

It's a civil duty to be a juror. Once you turn 18 (?) you are eligible for selection and must serve on a jury when needed. It's part of what keeps our court system running smoothly.

so much for freedom.

Like srs this has been around for a long time.

You can easily get out of this by just blatantly lying. Depending on the case you could say you don't believe in death sentence, or some fake religious bullstuff etc.

Don't start.

[The Big Bad Jellyfish]

Don't start.

I'm not?

This is how the law works, and it's been like this for a very very long time. It's still easy to get out of though, just make up something that makes you seem biased.

if you wanna be a citizen you gotta do the whole part.

Don't you also get signed up if you have a 'civil' job? Like being a teacher or a doctor or something.
I ask because I know my parents don't have to do any of this stuff in the UK since they don't have 'civil' jobs.
