I was recently dismissed as a prospective juror from a DUI case in California. Afterwards, I googled the judge, deputy DA, and defense attorney. It turns out that the judge and one of the lawyers graduated from the same law school in the same year (back in the 1970's). Given that a lot of prospective jurors were dismissed [I'm guessing here] for various conflicts of interest such as family members working in law enforcement or family members with past DUI convictions, how high do alumni connections rate as a conflict of interest in jury trials?
