as a member of the jury (or called to be impanelled) you can bet too that you'd probably be dismissed by one of the lawyers. Like it or not, wearing a kilt is seen by the general establishment as being a bit odd. lawyers don't want to bet their case on someone which the establishment thinks is 'a bit odd'. In some cases, one side might find that desirable, which makes it a darn sure thing that the other lawyer is going to dismiss.
really? i will remember this when i get summoned for jury duty, wooot!
