> you can have a lottery

what happens if the lottery "winners" refuse?




Many western countries use a lottery to choose juries.

If the winners refuse, they'll have a chance to explain themselves, and then they'll be judged by those who didn't refuse. Exactly what happens next depends.


Jury duty is one off, and often compensated. It also isn't clearly undesirable - it's a lottery for different reasons.

What would you do in the scenario described for people who refuse any undesirable work?
