I've done it twice, called for a third time but I was excused due to ill health.

Really enjoyed it. Interesting....

But look at it another way,if that was the case you could help put the person responsible behind bars.

No but there are some exemptions so maybe look up and see if any apply.

Sometimes a real hardship can be applied and make them relieve you of the duty. But you can be recalled to do it at any time, it’s not a never it’s just a postponed issue.

My son had a holiday booked so they changed his for a couple weeks later but his employer kicked off because he had just had 3 weeks off for the holiday so they gave him temp exemption as he was ‘indispensable’ to go at that time.

I’ve never been called and would love to do it.

Done it twice, once at Croydon on an alleged r#pe case and at Guildford in a fraud case..

The former we had 7 women and the latter it was an even split..

I think they call up more people than they need so you may not even have to sit if there aren't any cases on or they fold before court. When I did it they asked who of us couldnt do a long case, ie with kids and school hols or jobs and they choose those who reasonably could, the rest of us were sent home as not needed.

I was chosen about 15years ago, I asked for a deferment because of military service and it was granted.

Last year I was informed that I had been chosen again, I went through it with my employer and they went through the process of arranging everything.

Then 2 weeks before I was due to do it I received a telephone call telling me that they had more jurors than they needed, I was given the option to either do the service or opt out. I opted out,

So, it may well happen to you, go through the process and you might get lucky and get a deferment because they have enough volunteers.

My younger brother did jury service 4 years ago, he turned up on time every day and every day he was sent home because they didn't need him.

So if you actually get picked you might not be called upon to act as a juror and sent home.

Indeed. A work colleague ended up on a very unpleasant case and it really traumatized him. He can't tell us anything about it, other than it was a murder case, but knowing the day his service ended, it wasn't hard to guess from local media reports. That whole jury is now exempt for life from future service, such is what they had to deal with.

No you wouldn't because you don't know what type of case you'd be asked to be on the jury off , don't ever wish to be inside the doors of a court house , it's not a nice place to be on a jury , you could be doing lots of other things rather than be on a jury .

Indeed, are there any controls over that sort of thing, or is it just a case of other jurors trying to guide those making emotional choices etc? I've often wondered how on earth a fair decision can be made in all sorts of cases.

No influence at all, basically all the jury alone in a room together until a decision is made.

Some swaying to the majority to get home early or letting emotions decide above evidence, quite shocking really......

I sat on one case that lasted two months. It was obvious that we the jury couldn't agree on a verdict within 5 minutes of going to the jury room but the judge insisted that we try to reach one for a week. Nothing changed.

I did jury service about 15 years ago

The most boring 2 weeks of my life

Sat on 3 cases

1st was affray

2nd was assault

3rd was taking a vehicle without consent

All 3 cases were found not guilty

As a side note though.....

Someone I met there was called on a murder case.

The jury was selected (him included) but they was then asked to leave the court whilst a matter of law was discussed.

He came back down to the main jury room and sat next to me, his exact words were

"I've been selected for the murder case, I can tell just by looking at the defendant that he's guilty!!"

So is it fair?

The jury's out

Yes, I suppose not surprising in many ways, but you'd hope that people would take it seriously and examine the facts. The past 3yrs has, however, reinforced to me that a lot of people aren't that fussed with facts at all

Have to be honest I've never done jury service and would prefer not to ever have to.

My dad did years ago, one was quite simple but the other was a traumatic sexual violence case.

I know my dad found it hard but also that it was important to make a decision based on facts and evidence. Sadly, not everyone on a jury is able to do that.

I was excited when I was called up. Sadly I got stuck on a trading standards case for 3 1/2 weeks. It was incredibly boring and the court room was freezing!

Most of the jurors did try to make their decision based on the evidence, but 2 female jurors were reluctant to convict because the defendant “had a nice smile”. Fortunately they also bowed to the majority.

It was a fascinating insight into how messed up the legal system is.

Curious to know why you feel qualified to tell people what they would like to do?

I have spent the last 20 years experiencing courtrooms and, whilst they are mostly stuffy, boring places absolutely buried in bureaucracy, they can also be fascinating. Not least for those with an interest in the case or subject.

Yes, there are some traumatic cases we wouldn’t wish people experience. And, yes, some cases involve the dregs of society. But put aside the televisual dramatics and most cases are routine criminality (which isn’t to belittle anyone’s experience as a victim).

For those interested but unaware, all criminal courts have public galleries and you are perfectly at liberty to spend all day watching any case.

I did court-reporting during my time training as a journalist, both local Magistrate and Crown Court.

Both proved to be really dull, with nothing particularly juicy in the way of trials. When it comes to fraud cases, the evidence tends to read like the glossary at the back of an electronics manual, and it's tough to keep your eyes open, let alone your enthusiasm up.

You know you're in trouble when one of the more interesting ones is the approval for a firearms licence!

Can relate to that having done it, it's a daunting thought that the person in the docks future is at the time down to how 12 strangers interpret the evidence..

A better system than others but still not great. I know of an innocent person who was sent down, I don't want to ever be part of that sort of injustice.

"”I would LOVE to do jury service. ……..”

WTF!!!

I get that YOU don’t want to do it, but why do you think the other poster shouldn’t?

First, even though the general public often seem disinterested in the process, it nevertheless remains an important civic duty. It’s important.

I doubt anybody actually enjoys donating blood or bone marrow, but many do because it’s important.

The jury is a very flawed process, as you can see by the many comments above, but it’s better than nothing.

Secondly, not all cases will be traumatising or boring. Some will be interesting. Look how many Netflix shows there are these days that go into detail about murders.

Third, some people actually cope with the trauma well. People volunteer to become police officers, fire fighters, paramedics, mortuary attendants or undertakers.

Me personally, I’d rather do jury service ten times than watch the Football World Cup. (Ps I voluntarily undertook more than one of those roles above).

I’d be paranoid though. Has anyone seen or read the John Grisham film ‘Runaway Jury’? They sneak into the background of each juror to see what they post, what their religion is opinions, family background. Very clever film and book.

I would love to do it. I wouldn't want a fraud case as I have no attention span for this. But a friend was selected for such a case and it's a part of her job, fraud investigations, so understood the evidence when presented. So it may not be as random selection as thought. Which is a good thing in such circumstances.

"Done it a few times myself.. oh wait on the jury no never been on that side.... possibly on the side as someone wonderfuly labelled the dregs of society side

The actual statement was *Some cases involve the dregs of society*

Not *all people in court cases involve the dregs of society*

There’s a difference."

Beat me to it!!
