It’s more of an unspoken thing. It’s pretty well known that the US court system isn’t exactly honest, and both sides are trying to win at all cost, so they’re hoping for a jury that will believe pretty much everything they tell them and that they can just sound more convincing than the other side. Neither is going to want someone who may have a better understanding of it than the average person, even if their education in law had nothing to do with what’s in the case; they don’t want to take the chance. If one side has the evidence and the law on their side and are sure they’ll win on those merits, they’ll probably want someone with an education or background in it on the jury for those reasons, because they’ll understand it easier and probably help convince other jury members. For those same reasons, the opposing side will not want someone with even a potentially clearer understanding on the jury, to help create reasonable doubt easier by having no one among them with any official education or training into how any of it works. So to call it even, neither side ever selects someone like that. It’s not an official policy, it’s just something they all know. It’s a sort of etiquette.
I guess it’s very different from country to country. In England, part of the Criminal Justice Act 2003, which commenced in 2004, allowed legal professionals/experts to be eligible for jury duty. Whereas, part of the United Kingdom: Northern Ireland, have very strict rules and even exclude anyone who has worked as a legal clerk within the past 10 years [Source].
I can already imagine a guy like this giving a big No-no instruction behind the scenes when your name comes up 
It’s less cloak and dagger 
The two sides just strike people they don’t want. I’m sure it’s slightly different everywhere but in Cook County (where I live) you start with 36 potential jurors and the defense and the prosecution each get 10 strikes. They can use those strikes however they want. If it’s a misdemeanor charge then each side only gets 5 strikes. They end up with 14 for the case. 12 actual jurors + 2 alternates. Additionally in all of IL the two sides can agree before jury selection that they want to reduce the jury to a size of only 6. If you want to be sure to not get picked just say you’re a police officer or say you work at a non profit that helps wrongly convicted people get their lives back.
@scat1620 read the small print. Somewhere is a phone number to call and request deferral. It might be a fairly automatic process, might not be. Worth the phone call though. Where I live you just call and never even speak to a real person. You put in your special code and press 1 to request a deferral and it is granted for the first time no questions asked. I just had to do it. I was super happy when the robot voice said “Your deferral for 4 months is granted. As a reminder Cook County only allows 1 deferral without cause. Good bye.”
Or just make a comment about jury nullification
“That’s right, Your Honor, I know a guilty man when I see one!”
Finally got a chance to use a phrase that used to be famous in pop culture today. One of my managers is retiring next week after 30 years, and they were celebrating her today, and everyone kept asking me if I’d gone downstairs to have some of the cake. I finally got tired of it and eventually said back at someone, “the cake is a lie.” They didn’t get it. 
I really hate to be a buzzkill here but I think that’s such a corny line you could’ve picked. You probably could get away with it in the odd comic book convention or some DnD event where an inside joke can best be understood; but for a work environment, it strikes across as weird to me.
Or tell them you make your own clothing and polish your shoes every night 
.?
Yeah, I know. The point is, I’ve never gotten a chance to actually use that phrase, and the one time it presents itself, it’s to someone who isn’t a gamer and didn’t get what it meant.
Guess your colleagues aren’t too much into games since if they had played anything in the past 15 years, there was a chance to know about it since it was referenced to death on the video games / internet. 
Finally finished all Featured Contracts-related challenges. Unless they put out any new challenges or unlockables that require completion to access, I am now done with FCs forever, and good riddance, really, they’re so damn annoying. On to getting full mastery in all sniper maps!
I’m guessing you might have just missed this new thread…? 
What Heisenberg probably meant is the 2 tracks of feature contract challenges that reward players items with “Completing certain number of FCs.” Once you unlock everything, the only thing that matters is the checkmark on the top left corner of each contract’s image. Those checkmarks don’t count towards any stat completion though.
What @YellowZR1 just said. Since there’s no reward unlock or game challenge for completing these new FC’s, they are none of my concern, and I’ll likely never have any need to play them.
You poor bastard. If you thought the FCs were annoying, just wait…
For what?
The sniper maps. Your post seems to indicate getting full mastery in those godforsaken maps will be a walk in the park.
No, I know they won’t be, but all I have to do is grind; I already finished all their challenges. It’s getting all the escalations done after them that I’m worried about.
Are you worried about any in particular or just in general?
