An attorney that I work with on some forensic cases is famous for saying, “The problem with going to trial is that you are putting yourself in the hands of 12 people that couldn’t figure out how to get out of jury duty.” I laughed when I first heard it, because in all of these years, I have never served on a jury, although I have reported to jury duty many times.
