What does a person expect when called for a jury selection?

Question

Anything particular they look for in a juror?

I'm in Canada.

Answer 1

You can expect a very long day of doing nothing. They want independence from the case and no signs of partiality. They also want a resident that has been there for more than a year, which is why the judge did not pick me for the grand jury.

Answer 2

I thought it was great.
To see the legal system in action was a treat and the jurors are treated as special. At least once you are picked.
It is also your duty as a citizen of the USA.
No one should view this duty as a chore or nuisance because this is part of the greatness that is our country.
Only selfish, self centered people who lack appreciation find this responsibility boring or worse.

Answer 3

They look for 'average' types.

Being on a jury is very interesting. I've served on 3 of them.

Answer 4

They're looking for The Scarecrow; someone without a brain who can't think, so that the lawyers can dazzle you with their particular brand of BS.

Prove that you can think and they'll find a way to excuse you from jury duty.

B must work for the government, if they believe all of that crap.
