Hey, you might think that this info makes me your lawyer, but it doesn’t and I’m not. Sorry, but I AM NOT YOUR LAWYER unless we have an engagement agreement. I am just providing public information here, like a library does, and am not providing you with legal advice about your situation. So, it would be totally unreasonable for you to conclude we have an attorney-client relationship just because you're viewing this information.
I feel like Mike is trying to teach us ways to escape jury duty but can't outright say it as a lawyer
You cracked the code lol
Just my thoughts

I just started nursing over a month ago now and my report date is tomorrow to show up but I’m going to tell them I can’t be a juror because I’m a full time nursing student

My grandpa was actually called in for jury duty last week and right before it started he got dismissed because he was “staring to hard and suspiciously at the defendant”. In reality he had fallen a few days before and was in a lot of pain on the hard uncomfortable seats. It’s was hilarious when he was telling it to me bc he felt bad and wasn’t trying to signal out the accused
Lol
*too hard
My dad got called for jury duty and they asked if he had any knowledge about mathematics and he said he had a PhD and they dismissed him 😭
I see it happened as 2 scenarios
1) considered overqualified
2) clerks didn't know what PhD is
Yeah, they only want people who can be fooled into believing what they say, be it defense or prosecution. Smart people aren't going to believe whatever BS the lawyers pull.
That happened to my mother, she is a literal rocket scientist
Your dad is an expert, so not qualified. SOrry.
My uncle, who is a lawyer, said jury selection 101 is getting rid of people with advanced degrees because they make decisions for themselves and are not easily swayed.
I feel like you’re trying to let us in on a secret but in the most “if this gets out, my legal career is over” type of way and honestly it’s so neutral good I can’t take it-
Just say you know what jury nullification is and they'll drop you lol
Well imagine if everyone got out of jury duty using these excuses.

It's gotta be SOME person / entity / group making the decision, though. And making it a group of random people is pretty much the only way to guarantee nobody can call fraud.
I just kept twitching my leg uncontrollably and making disturbing/annoying bodily movements. When they finally asked what's wrong, I told them I have severe social anxiety and I was just gonna be like this the whole time. They dismissed me shortly after.

"miss out" 🤣 yeah ok, I was so counting on that $12 a day. 😂🤣😂🤣
Bit late on the reply here but; I believe in most states you can be reimbursed for any work day pay you were owed on top of juror pay. Just sounds like a free meal(s) and extra cash for a different work day to me.
@@extremecanilstone22 I don't know what state you're from, lol but my state, California, offers something like $12 I'm not entirely sure on the exact amount. But it was something like that. Plus something to the effect of $0.30 per mile that you have to drive. Either way it's an absurdly low amount of money, considering the amount of time and effort that you have to put into it. The only people I know that get paid for attending jury duty, is government employees. Teachers, mailman, state employees as well. But if your privately employed, or own your own business, your S out of luck.
My company provides paid leave for jury duty. Sounds like a sweet deal to me. Different, interesting work along with some extra cash as a juror
You guys get $ 12 a day??? In my state they get $ 3 a day, bro.
My first summons I had *JUST* lost my job. I actually *was* counting on the 12 dollars (or whatever) a day.
:D
(we were dismissed without even going to jury selection)
I've been selected twice, shown up, sat in the waiting room for HOURS, and been sent home both times because the case was settled instead. Such an honorable experience for like 30$ pay when it cost me 500$ regular pay to take time off. Thanks for the 'honor' of struggling to pay for food that month. Its equally, if not MORE dishonest to call jury duty honorable. Its forced, its uncomfortable, you may have to see things you never wanted to see or make life altering decisions for people, it may (like in my case) cause you severe financial difficulty.
It's an outdated system from 1215 (Magna Carta). It literally falls under our own government's definition of forced labor and actually hurts the jury system.
A voluntary system with term limits in place, proper compensation, and aid in the form of comfort, transportation, etc.. would be more beneficial to the jury system and justice system as a whole.
Tell me about it. The whole forcing thing. Even GOD ALMIGHTY gives us a free will. Smh

Just talk about jury nullification, they will send you home before you can blink
I got out of jury duty for telling the judge the reason I was there was cause I had no choice it’s either show up or get fined. Especially in the part where they ask you why you “decided” to go to jury duty which you don’t your forced to go. Haven’t been summoned since 😂
lmbooo I go tomorrow 😭
@@itssLaury just be bias towards the law and you’ll never get called again. If you get picked they’ll take you to a different location with the others that got picked and that’s when you just answer questions that they ask you. Do not show interest in the questions give short answers and you’ll be fine. They pick 30 per group, at least where I’m from, and then they pick the 12 from that 30 that they need for the jury. So if you get picked don’t panic it doesn’t mean that’ll you’ll be part of the jury on the first call up.
thanks for giving me an idea on what to do for when I actually go to jury duty, i turned 18 back in october and my parents want me to go at some point :pp
*you're
My History teacher got jury duty early in the day, and the next day he came back and said “If you never want to be on a jury, just give an answer that doesn’t make sense”
He the followed it up with “When they asked me what i did for a living, i wasn’t paying attention and responded ‘6 o’clock’ thinking they asked what time I got to work. They told me to leave”
When I went to jury duty I did something Similar to get out of it. They asked us to write down any reason we may not be able to participate like if we had responsibilities we had to attended to. Well I misspelled very possible word that I could. And when the judge got to mine , she didn’t even read it allowed like everyone else’s and told me I’m dismissed

3. Not be educated (in relevant fields)

Sort of. You are supposed to be DISinterested, which is different from being UNinterested.
The logic behind "no experts" -- take it as you may -- is that such a person might be able to unduly influence the deliberations. A more likely reason is that if someone actually IS knowledgable, he/she might not be readily bamboozled by whichever lawyer was hoping to dazzle the jury.
[This was the basis of an episode of the Jack Klugman TV show "Quincy." Jack played a medical examiner and was repeatedly admonished by the judge not to "educate" his fellow jurors on the flaws in a flimsy case. (He did so anyway).]
Do you realize how many self proclaimed experts there are and how many times over they are wrong? They also will claim to know things about something they havent heard of through "elementary knowledge" (yes, they are trying to pretend to be a world renowned slueth) without evem having such knowledge.
And if your over interested, its creepy and concerning. They want people who wish to just do their job. Thats it.
@@georgedunn320 also dunning-kruger effect. Those who express their intelligence the loudest are often the dumbest.
The one that hasn't failed me yet..."I don't want to be here".
Fun fact. If they ask you "will you take a cops word if there is no recorded evidence?" And you say no, they'll send you home instantly..
Yeah, funny that I did that my first time, apparently they didn’t like it and sent me home
@beastwolf6600 Yeah lol. It's a business for them, they have to lock people up for any reason they can because prisons have a quota. Disgusting
“Being a juror is an honor”
Bruh they get paid less than McDonald workers
A lot of states pay less than $25 for the day.
Your state pays?
@@MonkeyJedi99 They all do, but some are as little as $5, which basically means that the state loses money every time they issue a check.
It's part of the responsibilities of having the rights of a US citizen. Just like men registering for the draft as being a US Citizen able to vote.
Women weaseled their way out of this during suffrage, caused prohibition and marijuana criminalization.

PTSD and anxiety disorders will get you excluded. Veterans contact your primary care doctor, if you have PTSD or Anxiety Disorder, you can have the doctor write on the document “Permanently Excluded”
What if you have those things, but you actually want to serve?
@@thaddeuscramer2312Seriously. I have generalized anxiety but I’m happy to serve.
@@thaddeuscramer2312you can still serve.
I've got PTSD, OCD, GAD, ADHD, ASD, and was totally fine serving as long as it wasn't a case with a lot of gore. (Oddly, my alphabet soup of diagnosis makes me an excellent juror. I can hyperfocus on details, am very justice driven, and am really good at reading people and sniffing out BS...plus my whole career involves analyzing data without personal bias). I couldn't have handled a murder trial. But fortunately most cases are way more low-key than that. The first time I was summoned, my group never got called to the court room. The second time, I ended up on a low-key civil case.
They generally indicate at a high level what the trial is about before selection. So if the type of case is something particularly triggering for you, you can talk to the judge if your number is called and they'd likely dismiss you.
Typically only a small fraction of the whole jury pool actually ends up getting selected.
Tldr; yes you can still serve as long as it doesn't stand in your way of being fair and impartial or stand in your way of carrying out the duties of being a juror.
I get disability for ptsd, chronic anxiety, mania and being bipolar.
I legit can't be in front of a huge crowd. I'll literally freak out
I've been summoned three times as a juror. The last time was for a drug posession case. I told the judge that I felt our drug laws were unjust and that I couldn't be an unbiased juror as a result. They sent me on my way.
I said I was a fan of "12 angry men" and the judge basically made an excuse for me to leave 😅
Underrated movie
But 12 angry men is literally about a trial and the jury meeting amd one brave juror actually speaks their peace and makes the rest of the jury actually analyze the evidence in tne case instead of just throwing out a guilty verdict. The person on trial was a poor Mexican kid that really didn't have the capabilities, nor the disposition to commit the heinous crime of which he stood accused, but the other jurors were ready to say he was guilty because of their racism.
@@crystalmorgan8039 "Because of their racism" no, it wasn't about race. Prejudice, for a couple jurors, yes. It was more of a prejudice against young people in general.
The movie has basically every range of juror. From the one who just wants it to be over so he can go watch a baseball game, to the one just going with what everyone else thinks, to the people who do consider the evidence and think he is guilty at first, but change their mind.
@@crystalmorgan8039 i love that movie. funny enough, such jurors would be textbook example of a mistrial.
@@crystalmorgan8039 the kid on trial was puerto rican, but other than that i totally agree

This is so true! I once got summoned for an 8 week trial that required me to be on 4 times a week, it would of crippled me in terms of money, but some how I did not get picked. If I were picked then my backup would be my savings.but most people do not and live from paycheck to paycheck, so I can understand how much it would hurt them.
@@RyeDimarDragon just do what my dad did when they speak to you ask what race and or religion the defendant is well guess what you now hate that race and or religion if he's an atheist? Great now your a Christian who's biased against atheists
My uncle says, “If you can see me, I’m not getting paid. I have a family to feed. Goodbye.” They don’t usually give a fuss.
I know there are exceptions if there would be financial hardship from not getting paid. Legally your job is required to give you the time off for jury duty, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't have to be paid time off
@@harmonicaveronica yeah I thought their jobs pay them when they do jury dury
When I took a Criminology class in college we were taught that only about 20% of people actually show up for their jury summons. What REALLY happens to people who now-show? How much effort and money do we spend trying to enforce jury summons?
I dutifully reported for jury duty just a year after being in the same courtroom, testifying against a man who attacked, robbed, and then screamed death threats at me while he was being arrested. They issued a protective order for me because he had seen my address while in possession of my purse and wallet. I had to move. In the middle of my grueling time on the stand, the trial was halted and declared a mistrial because the defense attorney discovered a discrepancy between the value of the items stolen as written on the documents from the night of the crime and my testimony. Because some idiot wrote my purse was stolen, not my purse “and its contents” were stolen. HOW SHOULD THAT BE REQUIRED TO BE EXPLICITLY SPECIFIED? Well, that discrepancy changed the type of theft charge, and they threw the whole goddamn thing out. Even though the prosecutor talked with me after talking with the jury and told me they were going to convict, they believed me, and that I was an ideal witness up against an aggressive defense attorney, I was DEVASTATED. She told me he was also almost certainly still going to be sent to prison for two entirely separate crimes he was soon going to trial for, one being selling crack, another being domestic violence (yes he wanted jury trials for all of these.)
Being back in that courtroom during voir dire was suddenly extremely upsetting for me and I had a panic attack. I sat there sobbing and choking, but they wouldn’t stop the proceedings, someone just gave me a tiny cup of water. I struggled to get it together until finally the judge called me up to the bench asked what the heck was up. I told him why I was upset, and he dismissed me then and there.
That very evening, HE CALLED ME. He’d looked up my name, then looked up my case, saw exactly what had happened, also got my cell phone number from there, and called me to tell me that indeed, my attacker had gone to prison for many many years. (I’ve never tried to look up anything else about him, though I think my brother STILL keeps an eye on his arrests and time in an out of jail and/or prison, 20 years later.) The judge also said that if I ever got a jury summons again, call his office and he’ll get me excused so I don’t even have to come down to the courthouse. I’ve only call for his help once. And he was true to his word.
I just got a jury summons. That kind judge is long since retired, but I’m going to get a medical exemption, either through my neurologist or my psychiatrist. It may be an honor to be on a jury, and it’s our civic duty, but I’m not going down there to suffer through thinking I’m going to die right there in my seat from my heart exploding while everyone in the courtroom tries to just ignore me.
I’ve never been so scared in my life as when I dragged into the stairwell and attacked, but that trial being halted and him actually getting off on a technicality felt very near like being victimized again, after I’d fought so hard against that defense attorney trying to trip me up, twist my words, insinuate bad things about me, and generally make me look like a liar and a moron, while the man who hurt me and threatened to kill me was just feet away.
I just told the judge that I wasn’t going to be able to put all of my focus into the trial. 😂
I understand jury duty is important but shit it's annoying I have to be at the court house for 3 hours, sit around and then get sent home without being seen by the lawyers. Honestly I just hate the fact that I have to miss work and lose out on wages because of this.
You actually go? Lol sucker...I just toss the letter
If you tell the Jury Commission that it would cause you severe financial hardship, I don't think they can force you to serve. I might also tell them I would vote whatever way would end the trial the soonest.
I actually did this with a letter and they said my reasons weren't valid 🥲

I’ve been called up for jury duty once in my life. My mail was going to my sisters and she’d open important looking mail as I was deployed. She called and said I was deployed. Lady said nope don’t matter he needs to show up. My sister emailed me the details and I emailed explaining i was deployed “nope still need to show up” I got a letter from the legal officer stating from the desk of the commanding officer of the uss jcs he is deployed and will not be at jury duty “nope still needs to show up” I finally replied look lady you send a plane to pick me up in the middle of whatever ocean I’m in and I’ll show up. She replied with some stuff about how they’ll issue a bench warrant. I just ignored her and never did anything further with it.

It should be illegal for the jury to be decided by the prosecutors and defendants. They basically get to dismiss people they 'think' won't help their case. That's called rigging a jury.
My dad was denied Jury Duty one time because he legitimately knew too much about the topic that the guy comitted the crime (he worked in the field), so it was percieved that he would be too bias.
One time I was called for Jury Duty and the judge asked if there was any reason we couldn't serve on that case. I raised my hand, and the judge asked why not. I said "Well, my brother is a drug dealer and that's the guy who supplies him."
We all got excused.
Damn, invalidated the entire group in one sentence!

Ample evidence of suspicion. Nothing more.
You can also say "Jury Nullification". Everyone in the courthouse hates that and usually bar you from ever serving again

You're free to talk about it all you want on private property, or in public outside the context of the court's property, or on social media. But what you say inside the courthouse can be used against you.
@hishenmathurin2844 Dont bring cringe out so hard like that. Its irresponsible!
@@carultchWhile this comment is correct, your prior one isnt. Speaking about how you could have the intent to nullofy, wouldnt be illegal on examination. Lying that you wouldn't have an intent but do, os perjury. Ultimately, if you mention it with respect and honesty in the court, you can not be charged for knowing a law, just as a lawyer can not be charged for misattributing a law.
@@carultchno you cannot be punished for saying it. Stop lying to people
I thought I had a good chance to get on a jury and then they elicited some very real feelings I didn't think I had with regard to our justice system (I know someone who got a very raw deal but thought I was over it). They drew it out of me and promptly dismissed my biased butt.
What if you walk in, in a full mascot costume? Would they turn you away then? Lol...
It is not an honor. It is a pain in the ass. Having to deal with a corrupt overly complex legal system. Where biased judges and over paid corrupt attorneys win.
The whole video is tongue in cheek. He can't legally say "this is how to get out of it" but that's what it is.
There are a lot of lawyers don't care if their clients are guilty of a crime or not. They just want to win even if it lets murderers etc walk free.
@@waynemgtregear7228that is literally their job, regardless of how they feel about their client they owe them a fervent defense
@Cameron Smith which is why I don't like and will never be a lawyer, it's thei4 job to lie and bullshit until a murderer goes free 😒
@@theflaminglitten-fo6jd it is not. A lawyers job is to ensure fair trial for everyone (innocent until proven guilty, remember). And if as you say "murderer goes free" means somebody(police or prosecutor) was not doing their job properly
Just say “jury nullification” and they’ll send you on your way.
Well, saying “Jury Nullification” outright actually could get you in trouble, so the best way to word it is something like this. “Even if the defendant is without a doubt guilty but I don’t agree with the law they’re being prosecuted for, I will not say that they are guilty.”
Yep... Send you to jail!
@@mattsucksatyoutube3404 why would saying the word be a problem?
@@johnny1893 huh guess free speech in America is a lie :) like it has been for years on end, I don't see how saying that should land you in jail its a gross over reach of law and government to control the jury in a way.....
@@fimelsin5308 In a 1969, Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals decision, U.S. v. Moylan, the Court affirmed the concept of jury nullification, but upheld the power of a court to refuse to permit an instruction to the jury to this effect. In 1972, in United States v. Dougherty, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued a ruling similar to Moylan that affirmed the de facto power of a jury to nullify the law but upheld the denial of the defense's chance to instruct the jury about the power to nullify.
In 1988, the Sixth Circuit upheld a jury instruction: "There is no such thing as valid jury nullification." In United States v. Thomas (1997), the Second Circuit ruled that jurors can be removed if there is evidence that they intend to nullify the law. The Supreme Court has not recently confronted the issue of jury nullification.
In 2017, a jury was instructed: "You cannot substitute your sense of justice, whatever that means, for your duty to follow the law, whether you agree with it or not. It is not for you to determine whether the law is just or whether the law is unjust. That cannot be your task. There is no such thing as valid jury nullification. You would violate your oath and the law if you willfully brought a verdict contrary to the law given to you in this case." The Ninth Circuit upheld the first three sentences of the jury's instruction and overruled the remainder but deemed that instruction a harmless error and affirmed the conviction.
Thanks for the tips! I'll always make sure to stay in the jury and do none of the items listed! 😊😊
I'm sorry sir, I know this man
Judge: get out
I worked graveyard when I got summoned. I kept falling asleep while the lawyers were picking the jurors because i'd been up 24 hours. They didnt ask me to sit on the jury.
Yep, that's a concern for my husband and I. We both have hourly pay nightshift jobs. Sure we could technically be there but with our sleep schedule plus we're both ADHD.... yeah right would we be able to serve jury duty.

I thought that was a sure way of not getting jury duty? I guess just shouting could piss off the judge but the lawyers probably wouldn't want you in there if you're like that
@@HyphyJuice916 That’s the joke
It's not a good idea to say that because you could be found in contempt of court. There are other ways to get out of jury duty, randomly standing up and saying "jury nullification" isn't a good way,
Make sure to say “he looks so guilty” during selection
Thank you!
😂😂
Thanks for the tips, now they're NEVER gonna pick me
my dad got summoned for jury duty once, and he said he wasn't going, so they called his home phone and he explained he still wasn't going, they responded with something like "sir its a service to your country" and my dad (an air force vet) said "screw you i already served my country" they then explained that they could arrest him for not going, and he said "come find me then" and hung up. they never came looking for him
If you served then you can be excused or ineligible in the first place so it doesnt count...at least now.

The only time I ever got called for jury duty, I very loudly explained to the potential juror next to me how the heart monitor I have to wear 24/7 works and that if my heart rate reaches a certain point, it makes a loud beeping noise and alerts my emergency contacts. Needless to say, I haven't gotten called in since
they can bar you from jury duty for health problems?
seems wrong to me, but okay.
@@KaityKat117 they barred me because they viewed the beeping and emergency contact calling as a liability haha😅
The greatest flaw in the American Legal system is that you’re judge by a group of people not smart enough to get out of jury duty.
Or they just believe in the principle of civic duty

I was pregnant and I got jury duty I wrote back saying I was having a hard time and thought my son would come early he did and they still didn't excuse me I just ignored them I legit was in the hospital with a premature baby

Just tell them that as a psychic you're excited to help-- they'll love that!
This always works: "You NEED ME on this jury. I can just look at somebody and tell if they're guilty or not".
I knew a homeschooling mom of 10 who was summoned for jury duty, she took all her children with her to the interview, and said she hoped to be a juror as it would help her teach her children about the American legal system. She wasn't called back. Not sure if it was her enthusiasm or all the kids 🤔 😂

If you want off a jury in a hurry, when they talk about anything, talk about jury nullification. You'll be gone right quick and they'll probably never ask you again.

Did he just thought us a cheat code
I got called up my senior year in high school but it was during finals. My mom got me out of it, even though I actually wanted to do it. I've been waiting to be summoned again ever since. It has been 15 years now. :(
my first summons was around age 20. My most recent was a few years ago. Maybe 6 or 7 now so I would have been 30.
What happens if your summoned but don't go? Does the sheriff kick down your door with a warrant and book you? Would be surreal getting tried in court by the very jury you were meant to collaborate with.

"a juror can't make up their mind about a trial" maybe not, but that never stopped me
😂😂😂 looks like I got some new tactics if they ever call me in for jury duty 😂
The last time I was called into jury duty, I walked in the courtroom and realized that there was no way that I would be in this trial. The arresting officer was a friend from highschool and the defendant was a regular customer at a business where I used to work. Best way of getting out of jury duty - living in a small town. 👍
2 words; Jury Nullification. Say those words and they'll immediately send you home.
That's it? Won't they ask the person to explain?
@@thegreatlordcthulhu9852 Nope. These words basically mean that your judgment is absolute even if it is 100% wrong. They can’t have someone who believes they can ignore the evidence and make decisions on their own.

Yeah, I had one occasion where I got a letter, and I was selected for jury duty, which I wasn’t very pleased about because I was losing money by being there that day. So I went ahead and made arrangements with my employer, and then the day of the hearing it was canceled because they settled out of court. Never again.
Happened to me aswell, I was sorta looking forward to it though as my employer will pay me if I'm selected.
This happened to my sister and I as well. Got an email the day before I was suppose to go to court saying that jurors were no longer needed and that my service has been completed for the next 2 years.
how the heck did you find out why? for me they just said "we will not be needing your services your jury duty is complete." and that was that
Its very rare your ever picked again. Like very, very, very rare
@@madestmadhatter That's normally a sign of "out of court settlement." That or charges were dropped, one of the two. Either way, the entire ordeal was settled, without the need of a court.
It’s a pain, I work out of state so when I get called I have to spend hundreds of dollars, take time off of work and fly home
"do you guys support jury nullification?"
