you get put in a big room with other people until they call you, bring something to entertain yourself with
when they call you (hopefully the first or second day) they bring you to a court room and present a case then you get interviewed and ask you what you think of the case then the lawyers decides to keep you or not
I didn't want to stay so I said something negative about the outcome of a case my mother was in so I was dismissed and went home
same here, i was summoned for duty one time and luckily i was interviewed the first day. i purposely gave the lawyer a weird fucking answer and i was dismissed. i was surprised it work actually

I haven't decided if I want to attempt to serve on the jury or make an effort to get pinged by the defense lawyer yet.
On the one hand, it's a pretty unique civic experience that, if selected, I take very seriously.
But on the other hand, if I get picked to serve I'll end up having to spend at least a week or two conversating with (and pretending to like) my fellow jurors which, given my location, will most likely consist of Bible thumping conservative rednecks who think that ***** is the antichrist and ******** is murder.
Furthermore - The compensation. 30 bucks a day? Really? I mean, I don't expect them to pay me what my actual job pays me, but couldn't they at least make it minimum wage, FFS?
