That only works if they ask you questions. Last time I was picked for jury duty the only question I answered was the one about whether anyone was a lawyer. They asked me what kind of law I practiced and made sure it wasn't criminal. I was shocked that I had to sit in a week-long trial for child molestation.

Of course, anyone who claimed to have been molested was dismissed, but there were a bunch of those already and it felt wrong to lie about something like that when the woman next to me went up to the judge in tears. Maybe if I had said I do some white collar stuff in connection with the securities I would have been dismissed.
