I work within the SF Sheriff's Dept. I am constantly getting jury summonses (the way it works here in SF County is that each time a summons is sent out, it is the obligation of the potential juror to prove that he served within the past year). I've been picked to serve on a jury twice - as an alternate for a criminal case and an actual juror for a civil. During voir dire, I've explained that I work in a jail & my Mom was an attorney - on the civil case which involved medical stuff, I even said that my Dad is a physician - no dice. I have no idea what the secret is to getting out of jury duty.
