chrisSpeaking for germany: no mandatory voting, no jury duty.
Being part of a jury is voluntary and you have to apply for it. It’s also probably quite different from the US jury system.
rollinSame as most European countries, Germany has the adversarial system - no jury, just the judge.
Don’t know about elsewhere, but in Germany, for some trials, there are an additional 1 or 2 “lay judges” - non-professional judges from the community.
Quite similar here in Czech Republic. No jury duty, because there is no jury and voting is absolutely up to you.
There is a form of jury duty in Germany: Schöffe (honory judge).
[Schöffen] (de.wikipedia.org/…/Schöffe_(ehrenamtlicher_Richte…) duty can be mandatory, if not enough volunteers can be found (or are not deemed trustworthy enough by the local council).
You can however called up to be a Schöffe: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schöffengericht (no English version available, your friendly LLM next door should help out)
