   Seems I get called every two years to report.     I think the system is in need of repair.   It doesn't seem right to interview and filter through 100-200,,,+ ?  potential jurors in order to "cherry pick" the ones you think might be in "favor" of either  side.     Some of these cases are the incredibly "STUPID " hardly worth the time of a trial.
     
     Maybe it should be more like poker,,   you get to discard the ones you don't like,  but get stuck with the replacement hand.
Sometimes the fish isn't the only prize.

That's pretty close to how it works right now. 

The judge can remove an unlimited number of jurors for cause - hardship, bias and the like.  The lawyers only get a certain small number of peremptory challenges where they can dismiss any juror for any legal purpose.

If you really want out say someone looks familiar. You can't remember where. And you will be kicked off.

thats funny....
We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.

I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.

Took an entire day just to pick the jury.  Time wasted.  BIG cases can take weeks to pick a jury.  Does seem that there could be something missing in this process.
