Because I have a Pre-law degree I am never going to be chosen to serve on a jury. The lawyers (will) strike me.

I've been called three times.

1. Local college date rape case.
Defense lawyer - "Tell me about your life & family."
Me - "I'm a Vietnam vet, afterward was a USMC captain and I'm married with four kids, three of them daughters."
Defense lawyer - "You're dismissed!"

2. Drunk from the local Indian reservation shot & killed a Park Ranger.
Defense lawyer - "Has either your drinking or that of a family member adversely affected your life?"
Me- "My Dad was an alcoholic."
Defense lawyer - "You're dismissed!"

3. Traffic accident civil suit - Ended up jury foreman.

Interesting experience!

I was on a Federal jury which also had as a juror the lead attorney of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). And it was a case considering a labor dispute between an employer and one of the employees.

All the strikes by both attorneys were already used when she was evaluated - and since she couldn't be struck from the jury pool she was seated as a juror.

I've seen lawyers seated on juries in Dallas.
