Sounds like some pretty sloppy planning if that's what they have to do to fill their jury pools. Not sure what I would think of the government's side of the case (if there was one) if such impacted my conduct of business without even the ability to plan for same.
Then again, though called for jury duty I've never been seated. Once they figure out I'm an engineer, they don't seem to want me.
No kidding. I WANT to serve on a jury.
No one will let me.
Engineer works for me every time.
In the instance I heard about, there was no sloppy planning except by the members of the jury pool who were summoned for duty, but didn’t show up. That’s a serious problem. If you can’t get a full jury, how can you conduct a trial? Then, if the trial is postponed, there’s a backlog.
