Have You Ever Been Contacted by the Lawyers After You Completed Jury Services?

I would agree that this is to get feedback for other cases. I would not in any way think they are contacting you to see if something took place that shouldn't have. If it were me I would answer questions so long as they did not seem to be angling to get me to lie or bend the truth in a possible appeal. Otherwise it makes good sense to me to see what worked and what didn't in talking to jurors.

They do that all the time. I think they do it to get feedback so they are better prepared for their next case. I wouldn't worry about it. It could be interesting now that the case is over and done.

Hi there. I asked my husband who was the foreman for the 3 week, yes, I said 3 week, civil case he sat for. He said that the lawyers did call, the side that won the case. They asked him how they performed, what questions worked and what didn't work. That kind of thing. It was a long time ago, so he didn't remember more than that.

I don't blame you for not wanting to talk to them, to be honest. I'd be so sick of it that I wouldn't want to.

D.

Yes, we were instructed by the judge that the attorneys may contact us and it was our choice as to whether or not we wanted to talk to them. Both attorneys stopped and talked with the group of us as we were leaving the courtroom.

yes, but i declned. i didn't want to give the jerk who lost a chance to appeal.

Yes but it was awhile ago. If I remember correctly someone was accused of drug possession. It was both the prosecuter and public defenders first time trying a case. Afterwards they wanted to talk to the jury mainly to see how we thought they did. They both did very well and we let them know that as they asked questions to see if they could have done anything differently. They really couldn't have, it was a pretty straightforward case.

No, and I don't know anyone that has. It probably only happens in the BIG cases that get a lot of media attention most likely.

I was on a jury for 4 days. When it was over, the attorney for the person we found not guilty did talk with us. It was completely voluntary.

He specifically told me that he was floored when the DA did not dismiss me. It was a self defense case. One of the questions to all juried people was regarding self defense. My answer was yes I believe in self defense and my daughter was a trained privately trained black belt and instructed ti only use her skills in self defense.

He knew at that point, without me knowing the case thT I would be on his side. He was right.

What is right is right..... He had a clear cut case.
