Jury Duty Golden Rule

While strategies abound for getting out of jury duty, one rule stands overall:  the Golden Rule.  

A jury duty summons does not ensure a seat in the trial.  Being called for jury duty is an opportunity to be an active part of a solution.  It is a civic duty, one that links us as individual citizens to the Constitution of theUnited States.  While it may be inconvenient philanthropy, for most of us it is a rare chance, and certainly worth our time and effort.  

The Golden Rule is often quoted as, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”  Also popularly stated:  “What goes around comes around.”  If you are summonsed for jury duty, you have the invitation to do something for somebody; it is a service that you may be in need of one day.
