Can a Supreme Court Justice be called for jury duty?

Question

Senator Kerry was on a jury, President Bush was picked but didn't go, cause he is busy. Can a lawyer be called, or a judge, or even a supreme court justice. Can you see Scalia going to the jury box and a prosecutor asking him if he feels evidence can be fixed?

Answer 1

They're on the rolls like everyone else and can get picked, but most likely the attorneys in the case would seek their exclusion. This is what happened a few weeks ago when Justice Breyer reported for jury duty.

Answer 2

For the benefit of the misinformed, Supreme Court Justices, as well as, local judges and magistrates are EXEMPT from jury duty, as is the President of the United States and the Governor.
