I cut a little slice from each end that just exposes the arils but 
doesn't cut into them.  Then score the rind from one end to the other 
in 3- 4 places, and you can break it apart without cutting.  Then 
break the arils off one at a time.  Not fast, but I usually don't 
spill any juice at all.

But for juice I'd be tempted to wash the outside well, cut them in 
quarters and put them in a sealed ziplock plastic bag and press the 
juice out with a heavy rolling pin.
