<p begin="00:00:06.00" end="00:00:11.80">Jury service is vital to our system of justice, but something that many people dread.</p>
<p begin="00:00:11.90" end="00:00:16.00">And people often wonder how they get picked for a jury anyway.</p>
<p begin="00:00:16.10" end="00:00:21.80">Jury pools are picked at random from lists of registered voters within a county.</p>
<p begin="00:00:21.90" end="00:00:27.20">Additionally, some counties pick jurors from lists of registered automobile drivers.</p>
<p begin="00:00:27.30" end="00:00:35.50">This somewhat expands the list of potential jurors. To be qualified for jury service, you must be at least 18 years old.</p>
<p begin="00:00:35.60" end="00:00:41.30">However, exemptions from jury service are few and far between, and to be excused if called,</p>
<p begin="00:00:41.40" end="00:00:45.40">you will need the judge’s permission from the court that has called you for service.</p>
<p begin="00:00:45.50" end="00:00:52.00">Jurors are paid on a daily basis for service, but the amount rarely compares to a day’s wages.</p>
<p begin="00:00:52.10" end="00:00:59.40">Also, the length of service for jurors varies from county to county, and it’s up to the individual judge to decide.</p>
