Yep. Lawyers never want another lawyer on their jury. Allegedly it's because they think lawyer-jurists won't care about the story they're trying to spin, and would only look at the black letter of the laws that are at play in the trial. I think it's just BS superstition. There's no magic formula to understanding statutes that only lawyers have. Any reasonably intelligent person can understand law stuff if they have the information.Molly wrote:Why, because you're a lawyer?heyzeus wrote:I'll never get to serve on a jury now, which is a shame.
