Have you ever served on a jury?

My late dad was called upon 4 times and was picked for each.

Well good for him, someone had to do it!

If you were in the dock, I'd volunteer to serve on the jury.

I just got some sort eligibility survey for jury duty. I wasn't a summons., but a type pre-screening for it.

I think I'd actually like being on a jury for first-hand experience of the legal system.

Anyone here ever been on a jury?

I have served on a jury, and have also been called a few times for jury selection, and went through voir dire a couple times out of those (voir dire being the next step in jury selection).

I found it a worthwhile experience, and I'd rather not say more, so as not to prejudice your experience.

got called up twice but got out of it because I ran my own Flooring Firm and had ongoing contracts that if I had 10 days off would have lost me the contract.
