Are some professions exempt from jury duty?
Sometimes people are called for jury duty, they are exempt. There are very few judges--I don't think any judges, I think they're exempt from jury duty all the time. Police officers, some government employees, I think firemen are, and some types of doctors are exempt from jury duty. And if they get a summons (because they may not know who they are), they need to call the clerk of courts and say, "You know, you probably don't want me on the jury. I'm a judge."
