Most of the time people want to get out of it but I actually would like to get ON the jury. Does anyone have any advise of how to get ON a jury?

I don't think you really can do anything to get on a jury. Assuming you have a summons to have to report for jury duty, your chances of getting selected should be equal to everyone else. If your name is high enough on the list of potential jurors (I am not sure how they determine the order of the people they interview, but I imagine it is usually somewhat random) then you will be given a questionnaire by the court that will try to detect certain bias about certain aspects of the case. For example if your father was killed by a drunk driver then you may be less then fair to someone who is accused of driving while drunk.

I agree. I think any effort to actively get on a jury would be seen as strong bias and would end up you getting rejected from the jury pool.

Change your first and last names to ones starting with the letter A, for when they call jurors in for voir dire alphabetically.

I don't think this is always the case. I think that the court will more often assign potential jurors a random "juror number" that is used to call them by to prevent potential "name" bias.
