Hi,
My therapist's office is a few blocks from the federal courthouse. I mentioned to her that I was called for federal jury duty twice and hated it because I have issues with authority figures.

I got out of the last jury because I told the lawyers that I tend not to believe cops. In my experience they are likely to be liars. I was freaked out by the whole thing but I answered questions honestly for that case.

The therapist told me that I could get a letter from my pdoc to get out of jury duty. I don't know why but I had never thought of that.

What happens? The letter saying that I am too bipolar/anxious to participate in the process goes into a federal file somewhere?
