We last left off where Seth decided to go to Valor on his black dragon Erath. And when he got there...And if anyone forgot the story, Kyan found his long lost friend Seth on Valor, and his black dragon Erath. Kyan is a mamkute that can still use swords as well as dragon stone attack.
Welcome to BEHG. We hope you enjoy your trip through our cesspool of hatred and lies.

I got called once.

I used the "I am a student" excuse and they let me get out of it.
maybe the people in your state are retarded, but this doesnt work it just postpones your service for 9 months or something like that, because youre not a student all year round
Some of us actually are. Unless they can guarantee the case is going to last less than a week, I have school.
well more power to ya then rnnskies

I think my mother got called up for duty.

She got out of it by saying that she is the primary carer of a child with a mental disability and that the father is next to useless for caring for the child. (Well, something along those lines...)

Does Australia have a magical extra hour around midnight I'm not aware of?

Yes. It is the Dark Hour in which everyone who hasn't faced their inner issues gets turned into a coffin for that hour while those who have the strength to face lifes hardships run around, beat up manifestations of bad emotions and stop people who get thrown into TVs from dying from fog-sickness

We don't like to talk about it, except to the Japanese, who had something similar happen in 2009 and 2011/2012.

I suppose I should've seen that coming.

Yes you should've.

Well, I got a letter saying that my jury duty has been delayed until September 13th.
When I have school.
After it had been previously been delayed until July 12th because school would have interfered if it was not during Summer.
Upon which date they said by phone they did not need me, which should have been the end of it.

good job guys

Never been called. I want to once just say I did it, but after that I get to start doing the prejudice card
Seriously though, Shrimp.

-A peremptory challenge can be used to remove a prospective juror for any reason. You don't need to prove anything to the judge, unlike in a challenge for cause. Either the persecution or defendant can just kick someone out with a peremptory challenge, though they must use them wisely because each side has a limited number (varies by state). Book's idea of revealing yourself to be an intelligent person very well might work for this reason because sometimes one side is trying to get stupid people into the jury box in order to deliver the wrong verdict. [This side is almost always the defense, by the way, because despite what the Phoenix Wright games portray, governments tend to dismiss all but the strongest cases before they make it to court because the time and expense of a court case is too high for governments to try cases in which more than a miniscule amount of doubt exists, though this more refers to the federal level so it might be different in state courts.]
Maybe it various regionally, but from what my dad has told me (he's a civil-case lawyer, he is plaintiff and defendant sometimes, he does both), it's the exact opposite in the district he usually works in (Bronx county, ny). The grand juries here absolutely love for every case to go to court because basically everybody in the bronx has a grudge agaisnt everybody.

Then again these are probably not as big as the federal trials you're talking about. He does mostly injury stuff.

I've never been called for jury duty. If I did, everyone would spend a few minutes of questioning just to tease me, then I'd probably just sit in the gallery to watch for the hell of it.

I've had jury duty before, it was the worst thing I have ever experienced in my life

Literally sitting in a room for 6 hours of wait

Literally

It didn't really do much of anything other than probably giving Izzy a lack of reason to care about the game, so it's not as huge a deal as my dick, but still kind of noteworthy.

Never had to actually sit on a jury, though I did get summoned once (didn't end up having to do anything with it though).

That said, it's probably a bad idea for everybody here to try to give each other advice about this sort of thing. Not only do laws about this vary from state to state, but from district to district, as well. Even which judge you get can influence what the overall rules are.
OMG A ZAP
