Jury duty questionnaire seems intrusive and odd.

    I think I'd just skip some questions. And yes, I agree... More info than they need for jury duty. I got a much streamlined version in my area a few weeks ago, without the strange, creeper type speed dating questions you have on yours.

    Church and organization memberships seems like an intrusion, along with some other questions, like important things taught to children, etc.

    It would seem like ruling one out of jury duty based on religion would be questionable.
    Unless the case had something to do with a specific church/religion.

    I'm not sure why you would be hesitant to share what church you go to.

    I served on a murder trial about 10 years ago. I thought the whole thing was pretty interesting.
    Without going into detail, I felt it made a difference in some of the outcome, because I was serving.
    The trial was emotionally taxing and lasted a week. After it was over I visited my mother to tell her about my experience.
    While speaking with her, the emotions flooded out as I cried (I was 50 at the time).

    All in all, I would serve again if called upon. I actually believe everyone deserves a fair shake in life.

    I had a federal court jury duty summons last year, about half of those questions are similar to my questionnaire , the others the judge just asked all potential jurrors, looks like they are screening for conflict of interest in a lawsuit to me.

    Got one a year or so ago and it asled if you were IIRC over 70 years old. If yes you had the option of opting out. Yes, I opted out, called several times and sat on one trial back in Illinois. That was enough for me, besides I don't hear that well any more so that is a factor I suppose. Jim.

    I'd sit a jury just for the experience. But I don't hear well either.

    After a lifetime of military jets, gunfire, the devil's music and motorcycling I can't hear very well either.
