718 - Do you try to get out of jury duty?

I was called to jury duty this morning so this will be a short post.

It surprised me how many people told me different excuses to get out of serving on a jury.

WHAT???

🔴 So, everyone else should have to go but I am too important?

🔴 My time is more valuable than others?

🔴 Other people aren't as busy as I am?

NO, NO, NO

I don't shirk my civic duty by giving a list of reasons I can't be there and neither should anyone else.

Sure, I have a lot of things to do that I consider more important. But this is how our country is built.

✅ Serving on a jury is a civic duty that helps ensure the fair administration of justice.

✅ It helps ensure a fair trial. Wouldn't you want that for yourself? We all want justice to be served.

✅ It can be rewarding because it allows individuals to play an active role in the community and contribute to the administration of justice

Off to court I go...
