As far as I know jury duty is by random selection, and it's one of the fundamental building blocks of our democracy, and in my opinion it's a well functioning one.

It’s quasi-random - never register to vote and you’ll probably never be called.

And as the joke goes, you’ll be judged by a jury of people who couldn’t get out of jury duty.
