Is that a valid excuse? That he can't take time off of work?

No, the law protects you from an employer firing you for taking time off for civic duty.

Functionally it is. The three times I've been through jury selection, folks were let go based on their fear of losing their jobs if they took the time off. No one mentioned dog's balls to my recollection.

I disagree with his contempt for the system, but I have to laugh. Truly that is some good work.

Usually I would agree. But then there's this: Three Chicago Cops found not guiltly in bar brawl
Now granted is wasn't a jury trial, but it just goes to show how fucked our legal system really is.

I think people who skip out on jury duty should have their names recorded. Then, if they are ever tried for anything, they don't get a jury and have to rely on a judge for the whole thing. Maybe then people would appreciate how important juries are.

Right. It's called loopholes. Employers just look for something else like being 5 minutes late for work.... if they really want you gone.
Yes, yes I did. Just now, in fact.Originally posted by: krylon
