Reply #14: At least I will be honest in voir dire

and do you really think it's "peer" justice when the attorneys for each side always have their own agenda in selecting jurors?

The process as it stands now sucks. Many people (like me) are not compensated for their time. The selection process in this instance is ridiculously long because there was no pre-selection questionnaire - we all have to sit there for the entire process unless dismissed. Frankly, I don't think anyone should have to waste any time on account of judicial bureaucracy - whether it's standing in line to vote for 12 hours, or waiting days to even get through the jury vetting process.

At least this particular court made a start by having three-hour sessions per day, to make jury duty almost feasible for those who won't get paid for their time. But I'm afraid that I cannot hold the same respect for the current process as you do. I'm worried about keeping my deadlines and paying my rent.
