I have always assumed that attorneys, like me, are never selected to serve as a juror. This assumption was confirmed numerous times in my own life when I was called for jury duty but after being asked about my occupation (and other innocuous aspects of my life) was excused and sent home. Nor have I ever met another attorney who had been selected to serve as a juror.
That’s not to say, however, that I didn’t want to be selected. In fact, I have always thought, as I am sure many other attorneys have, too, that being in the jury room to see what goes on and how the jury deliberates and decides the issues with which they are presented would be priceless.
