United States Chief Justice John Roberts reported for jury duty in Maryland on Wednesday, according to the Washington Post.

After answering two questions in open court about family members, Roberts was not selected to serve on the jury and left the court in Rockville.

Roberts’ colleague, Justice Elena Kagan, reported for jury duty at DC Superior Court in January 2011, but was released the same afternoon.

Vice President Joe Biden has even been called for jury duty, reporting to a courthouse in New Castle County, Delaware, in January 2011.
