    I would certainly wear a kilt for jury duty but I have never been asked and probably won't be.

    They let a woman in Arkansas serve on the Whitewater trial and she wore her Feddie uniform EVERYDAY to trial. She also wears her "pajamas" to work everyday too (see Trekkies & Trekkies 2).

    So, a kilt should be no problem. Now, if you want to get out of it...and who doesn't...wear the complete Mel Gibson "Braveheart" outfit w/ blue facepaint.

    In my little town we only get about three jury trials a year. A couple months ago I got called for one. I've been to court before kilted as a witness and as an expert of sorts.

    Decided to wear pants for this one, just to avoid having the kilt be a focus of anything. Wound up getting selected for the final draw but didn't get drawn so was no never mind.

    Pretty much your own decision about how appropriate it is for the court venue that called you and how comfy you are being kilted in such a situation.
