Harrow, that face you have in your avatar, is all I would need to be convinced

Do I remember correctly that you are an engineer? NO CHANCE! You will be challenged before you even leave your seat.

The last thing a lawyer wants in a court room is reason or common sense.

How can I make sure I get chosen from the panel on the day. Any good suggestions?

I don't know, but my mother seems to be good at it. She got chosen three times, and I have never even heard from them.

Maybe you need to look like a person that is 'typical' and listens well.

On the upside, mum got to learn all about the growth and cultivation of marijuana, and what equipment is required and so on.

So its educational too

you'll regret it once you get on their list. I had to apply for a 3 year relief from duty , i got pulled so many times.
some cases are sad, some make you want to laugh in court, got told off for that.
on 1 case i asked to be excused as I had had a busy weekend and would almost certainly fall asleep ,. judge told me off and explained that such frivolity wasnt acceptable in court. Around mid afternoon i got a warning to stay awake and next day had to be prodded by a jury member to wake me up.

so dont be so quick to volunteer.

Since when has an engineer used either reason or common sense?

Appear stupid and vague, don't offer up any opinions.
