Rob CarlsonUS folks only, out of curiosity, how many times have you served on a jury - not just called but actually sat through a trial?
ETA: Also feel free to reply with your JD stories.

Pax Ahimsa GethenThe one time I served was a civil trial back in 2013. I was fine doing so as I wasn't gainfully employed at the time. Which is a good thing as the trial and deliberations took six weeks!
I get summoned nearly every year, and have gone through voir dire at least one other time, but have managed to avoid serving since then. (I really don't want anything to do with criminal trials, and make my opinions of the US police and criminal justice system clear on my juror questionnaires.)
