When I finally returned home, I found a long-expired summons for
jury duty in my accumulated mail. I called the number on the summons
and explained what had happened. The woman looked up the number on
my summons and said it was no problem, they'd just cancel it in the
system and issue a new summons for me since I was home now and being
retired had no work conflicts with serving. And a few days later,
a new summons showed up. I went and got eliminated the moment both
sides discovered I was a lawyer.

Wouldn't stating that you intend to apply common sense after listening
to arguments have disqualified you as well?
