Yes, when you put it that way, that's kind of ridiculous :D I think it's reasonable to let people off if they've already made travel arrangements that serving could interfere with. I'm glad you didn't have to miss your cruise!


Thanks. :D And I'm sure that letting people off for travel plans is the norm, and that the court is very reasonable, blah blah blah. I just don't think people should have to rely on the court's judgment as to whether their plans are important enough to let them off the hook. There are plenty of other people who can serve; just let people postpone if need be (obviously bringing the date of their next service forward a bit to compensate).

Anyway, we're getting a little off topic here. I don't pretend to know how to fix the system (although I have a few ideas) and that's not originally the point I was trying to argue. I just didn't think that Narg should get angry at people who try to get out of jury duty.

You really shouldn't be posting opinions about a legal case that is underway. - 21/02/2012 01:47:41 AM 779 Views
A mistrial can be declared for a juror simply making a conclusion? - 21/02/2012 03:18:45 AM 675 Views

I agree that it's an important civic duty, I just think it has a terrible supporting system. - 21/02/2012 07:34:04 PM 670 Views
