Relatedly, speaking about anything that could disqualify you from a jury on your public social media can make it difficult to experience the inside of a courtroom. Remember to keep it classy online!

But it's also important to spread knowledge. Some of us can give up our rights to be a juror so that the rest of the potential juror pool knows their legal options.

And if you are ever asked it when being considered as a jurist, no, you do not know what jury nullification is.
