Jury Duty Excellence

Guilty. Next.

Tuition: $1,800 or 24 easy payments of $96.

A six-week civic program preparing cats to serve as empaneled jurors in American courts. Graduates arrive on time, deliberate briefly, and return verdicts with the decisive confidence of creatures that have never been wrong.

We do not recommend serving on capital cases. The pen, if chewed, is not admissible.

What You'll Learn

  • Arrive at the courthouse prior to 9:00 a.m., which is early
  • Pass through metal detection without incident
  • Listen to 4-6 hours of testimony without visibly disengaging
  • Deliberate with 11 other jurors, most of whom are humans
  • Render a verdict ('guilty') with authority
  • Collect the stipend ($14.37)
