BCEagle–I could see where engineers might not be welcome–(no offense, engineers), they need everything to be either right or wrong, no middle of the road. One should be able to plug in one explanation and be able to arrive at another with no maybe-middle answers. This based on the engineers that I know–maybe not all engineers. I guess they would need the proof beyond a shadow of a doubt and perhaps in many cases doubt is evident, just not pronounced, and a good salesman lawyer has been able to make the case.

Law students might not make good jurors, but at least they would garner some appreciation and perhaps learn the real court system. After all, for many, the court system is the reason for their jobs.

We have often discussed the possibility of professional, paid jurors as spouse is an attorney. People that have been trained to serve on juries for a living. I don’t know what the answer might be w/regards to jury duty, as there are always going to be people that do not want to serve and those like you have mentioned that would be willing to go in and sign up to serve all the time.
