Wow. I was so bloody excited that I did the following things:

1. Called up Reena to pick her law-school educated, bar-passing brain. She provided some tips for avoiding being impaneled but confirmed my suspicions that it's basically impossible to get out of going in the first place.

2. Performed Google search for "getting out of jury duty." I came up with one pretty boring site, one fairly informative one, and a pretty damn hilarious one.

3. Started actually reading the form. Died a little inside. Imagined a three-week case involving, like, textile fraud or something.
