Edit: search bar research has shown that some jurisdictions make it very difficult to nullify. I don’t want to doxx my county, but if anyone knows a source for by county jury rules I would be grateful.

It’s for the county. I have no idea what it’s for or anything. Never had to do it before.

As a comrade, there many types of cases where being on the jury are an opportunity for praxis on both the side of nullification and going balls to wall for a conviction depending on whatever the case is.

It’ll be a major pain in the ass given the commute, but I’m lucky in that my employer pays me my full wage for days served on jury. So I really don’t have an excuse outside of avoiding the commute to try and avoid it. Especially since I could have an actual say and impact on something that matters.

I am well aware of how to avoid it, but does anyone have advice on how to get selected if it’s something a comrade should try and get on the jury for m / try and sus out what the case is before deciding whether I should try and get out of it?

Make sure you check the county website the day before to see if you actually have to show up. I got a summons recently and my juror number was listed as not actually required.

I have a calendar note to make sure I don’t forget. My number is over 100 so I don’t think I’ll actually get it, but I want to be prepared just in case. My county is backwards as fuck and requires a phone call though lol.
