Or, in the more likely scenario that you get a civil trial, tell them that you think personal liability lawsuits are the biggest waste of taxpayer dollars, and you think 99% of them should be thrown out of court for being frivolous. Considering that most judges started as lawyers, they may even escort you out of the building Trapped on the surface of a sphere.

The one time I went to interview for jury duty, more than a third of the jury candidates had initiated personal injury lawsuits themselves! Some of them obviously made a living suing corporations, and at least one of them was simultaneously suing three different companies for three different "incidents"! This was while they were trying to get on a different jury. It's a system for people that are too lazy to work. The jury are made up of at least a few people that are doing the same thing as the plaintiff. Yeah, I feel pretty bad for defendants, too.Trapped on the surface of a sphere.
