Is that the one where you can be put on Grand Jury? Friend recently had 3 or 4 weeks of 1/2 days on that, it was miserable. [ Reply | More

No, thankfully. I think the jury summons has to include a grand jury possibility on it. [ Reply | More

That wouldn't be too bad. Any idea what % of people don't get selected within the 3 days? I know that it has no bearing on what will happen to me but I'm annoyed about going tomorrow and looking to make myself feel a little better. [ Reply | More

I know it can be inconvenient - but you don't want to serve? I'm an atty and have never served (sit in room, read a book and advised trial has been postponed or settled). I would liek to see a jury trial from the other side of the courtroom. a trial can last anywhere from a day to weeks or even months, by the way. but the vast majority of cases settle on the eve of trial.

np: I always felt this way until I got chosen as an alternate for a jury. It was some civil case and it was BORING. And of course after making us sit through 4 days of trial (well, we didn't sit through it all, we would hear bits and pieces, then be excused for parts they didn't want us to hear, then back in, back out. The balif/guard was mean and nasty to us, ordering us around like we were prisoners/criminals. I will never do that again. From that point on, I lie and say I have some problem with the case because I've been in a similar situation and act like I've formed an opinion/cant be impartial. Haven't been picked since.
