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

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 Obama is the antichrist and abortion 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?

It'll likely get settled before the trial goes to court. I've been summoned 3 times, never went to court once.
