Can't say. I have NEVER been summoned for jury duty.


Seems like I have heard from previous lawyer friends that they felt a lawyer never would be called... but that was long ago.  How about now?  Are you exempt by being a member of the court?

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

Oklahoma attorneys are exempt from jury duty in state court, not in federal.

That is my understanding. But I doubt anyone would want me on their jury. Too good looking. Big distraction to the witnesses and lawyers.

The two times I have been a potential juror the judges knew me.  I was excused and sent back to the basement.
