Have you ever been called to serve jury duty?  I just recently received my second notice ever.  The first time, I showed up to court and my juror number was never called, so that was the end of that for me.  I must admit, it was both a relief and a disappointment.

I was relieved to not have to deal with the inconvenience of missing work and trying to figure out how I was going to financially afford to serve, considering that the money a juror receives for serving doesn't come close to making up for lost wages while serving.  It was a mixed bag of emotions for sure.  I did want to serve, as it is my civic duty and I was also intrigued by what I would face as a juror.  Would it be as dramatic as television shows depict?  Probably not, but who knew?  It depended on the case involved.

All this curiosity came back when I received my recent summons.  Will my number be called?  If so, how many days will it entail?  I have no idea.  All I know is, it's a chance to learn something interesting about our court system from the insider view and I know that it's an opportunity many have not yet received.  Have you? Please answer the poll below.
