holy shit...I just served on my 500th jury. Time flies and all....

[NRaleighLiberal]

500? How can it be? Who else is a member of the 500 jury club? Anyone been on 600? more?

All the time I've had to take out of work for all of that jury duty....

[madrchsod]

1. dam..i have 64

[hrmjustin]

2. I served on my 400th yesterday. I was only on for 30 minutes today so I did not serve on one.

No luck in IRL. Always get to the interview stage of the Voir dire and as soon as I list my profession as a mechanical engineer, I'm dismissed.

6. your profile says you have been on 263 of them

DU juries, that is.

[NutmegYankee]

8. Oh. I'm thinking of real juries.

Yeah... It's bed time

[NRaleighLiberal]

16. the one time I've called for "real life" jury duty I had to be away on business...

they've never called me back.

4. only 86 times here

not having a star, and having some deleted posts myself these days cuts down on jury service.

I just did a quick survey of my last five (which goes way back to July).

leave 2-4
hide 4-2
leave 2-4
leave 3-3
leave 2-4

in 4 of the 5 cases, I was on the side of the majority. In the 5th case there was no majority, except by being the 3rd vote, I had only 2 jurors who agreed with me and 3 who disagreed (but, ha ha, the same was true for ALL of the other jurors as well) Also, in 4 of 5 cases I voted to leave it.

In 2 of the 5 cases, I was a swing vote. With the 4-2 hide, had I voted the other way, the post would have stood 3-3. With the 3-3 leave, if I had voted to hide (which I almost did) the post would have been hidden.

On the last one on my list, I voted to leave a post (along with 3 other jurors) but the person who made that post was PPR'd by MIRT.

Be kinda cool to see stats for all 86, but not cool enough for me to goto the trouble compiling them. Am I on the majority side 80% of the time? Do I vote to leave the post 80% of the time?

5. I have 246.

I don't spend a pile of time on DU so I think that's a lot. Congrats on your milestone!

[winter is coming]

7. Just think of all the lousy decisions you've made.

[NRaleighLiberal]

17. .

you know, for whatever reason, I've been with the majority opinion 99+% of the time. Whether that is a good or bad thing...who knows?

[Behind the Aegis]

9. 2 more and it will be 700 for me.

But I am a late night person, so that is likely why I have been on so many.

[SheilaT]

11. I opted out of jury duty here after serving on

only 9, according to my profile. It feels as if it was a lot more.

What I didn't like was that I often felt I had no real context to make a decision, and when I did render one, it was almost always at odds with the other jury members.

I have several times had posts of mine sent to a jury.

[Skittles]

14. you just might be a troublemaker, SheilaT

you want I should kick your troubled ass? Say the word my sweet.

[SheilaT]

25. I've been here how long and you haven't

figured out yet that I'm a trouble maker? What do you actually do all day?

[Skittles]

26. I sleep all day babe

OK well the weedeaters woke me up today

I stay awake all night though

[Blue_In_AK]

12. 195 for me.

I guess I'm not on here as much as I think I am.

[Skittles]

13. zero for me

[B Calm]

15. Have you ever asked yourself, who am I to judge?

[NRaleighLiberal]

18. interesting way to ponder things...

I view it as a way to give back and help out at a place that's been really helpful to me since 2004!

19. I had jury duty yesterday

First time and I'm in my 40's - I cast my first vote for Clinton - I missed voting for Dukakis by a few days because of when my birth date fell.

But I had my first jury duty yesterday and was dismissed. Well I didn't make it to the jury box. In Seminole County FL they take about 25 people in the Jury room and randomly select 18 people from that group. Those 18 people get to sit in the nice comfy chairs during this process. The rest sit in the galley on hard wooden benches. They only end up taking 6 for the jury. In my group 4 of us did not get called to sit in the comfy chairs.

Report time was 8am and my group was dismissed by 1pm except for the 6 that were chosen. It was a domestic violence charge.

But 500 wow!

[NRaleighLiberal]

20. I mean DU jury duty, not real life (well, as in in person real life. DU is real like too, isn't it?

[City Lights]

21. Wow, that's a lot!

I have served 306 times.

[Ptah]

22. 758

[NRaleighLiberal]

23. Wow....next stop 1000 for you!

[PCIntern]

24. 141...feels like more...but that's what it is. nt
