The lawers get to pick the jury. The Jury commissioner picks the jury
pool. Here in Calif it comes from voter registration and drivers license
lists.


Similar here in MA.

It's funny. I lived in a neighboring town for 18 years before moving to my
current address.
During that 18 years I was called for jury duty 7 or 8 times. Once or twice
I was called before the 2 year between duty period was up.

We moved to our current town 8 years ago. Haven't been called once.
My feeling on jury duty has changed. I know it's a "civic duty" and all
that, but I think 7 times is enough civic duty. I don't like playing god
with other people's lives.
