I mean, have you ever received a summons from the courts that you’ve been assigned as a potential juror (as in you have to respond and appear when being called, usually you’re given a number and asked a bunch of questions) however is the chance on being selected low as being part of the 12 jurors at a trial? Does the overall pay depend on the type of case whether it’s low or high profile?

      “Oh no, other people!”

      I hear you though. The average citizen’s voting habits does make you wonder.

        It’s not really the average citizen I’m worried about. The extremists always turn out to vote, and they’ll always turn up for jury duty. Any chance to impose their views on someone else’s life.

          mmm sadly true, some selection bias for those who crave dominion over the freedoms of others. Again, average citizen does make you wonder
