You are going to be stuck in a stuffy room with strangers you dont know.
And you are probably going to end up arguing with the other jurors.
If you want to avoid all of these inconveniences, here is how to get out of jury duty.

What is jury duty?
If you do not appear, then you could be fined.
You could even serve time in prison.
In the end, only twelve are going to be selected to move onto the actual court case.
If you are chosen, legally, your workplace is required to give you time off without punishment.
How do you get out of jury duty beforehand?
Explain if you have bad anxiety and are unable to leave the house to drive to the court.
If all else fails, you might always request to put off your summons for six months.
However, you are only allowed to do this two or three times, depending on your state.
How do you get dismissed from jury duty?
Just because you are summoned, it does not mean you will actually have to serve on a jury.
You are not going to get chosen for jury duty if you seem biased.
This might work because courts want you to remain impartial and listen closely to the facts presented.
They dont want you giving into peer pressure.
They could also dismiss you for acting too quiet or too cocky, too nice or too rude.
