We had a lawyer that handled civil cases on our jury.
I wouldn't want one on my jury
Some states have exemptions where lawyers can just pull themselves off a jury if they want.
One common rationale being the other jurors will be overly influenced by the lawyer on the jury, which I could definitely see happening.

A classmate served on a jury for a relatively high profile case. The other jurors didn't really listen to what they had to say. And I believe that this happened between law school graduation and being sworn into the state bar.
