It's mostly boring and lots of sitting about waiting.

I’ve done it twice. The 2nd time it was only 10 months after the first so could have been excused. Having never been in a court room before I found the whole experience fascinating so really enjoyed the opportunity of doing it for a second time.

My first time I was a week in, having not been chosen yet and got on a 3 week trial so in total I was there for a month. Second time I was chosen for 2 trials. First one got thrown out by the judge after an hour due to lack prosecution evidence around the identity of the defendant and then I got a 4 day trial for my second case.

Even though I would miss out financially, I’d jump at the chance to do it again

I've not done jury service but very similar in the military courts, it was fascinating and harrowing in equal measure. But overall a great experience.

Done it twice ( D), first time got a big fraud case which lasted 10 weeks, second time just 2 weeks. First one got boring eventually but the second one we all agreed the verdict and were out of the jury room within an hour

I was called and then on the Friday before, they told me that they were oversubscribed.

I think they do it deliberately because of the high dropout rate

I don't think I'd mind actually doing the jury service but having to find a different smart outfit to wear, every day for several weeks must be a hell of a chore.

I see a gap in the market here.A discount clothes store near the courthouse. This time next year I'll be a millionaire.

He was found not guilty so missed out on that bit.

I did it at the High Court for a murder case. After a week the defendant changed his plea.

I was glad.

Got out of mine when they sent it by saying I was currently helping police with their enquiries so I could not be un bias in any prosecution

I got mine when I was 18, it was interesting but what shocked me was that of the 12 people no one really wanted to say anything.

So the odd one or two with ideas ended up leading the decision.

Two weeks is standard, sat around for three days then the case lasted the rest of the time. Most cases only last a few days. But in theory you could be there for weeks.

Get involved and enjoy it. Good luck

I've never done it either, but my mate did back in the 90's in a causing death by dangerous driving case. It was a unanimous guilty decision. I suppose some cases are more intellectually challenging than others?
