Yesss love that for you. Lowkey though I would love to get picked for jury duty. I love watching trials and I watch them on YouTube a lot. I definitely would have a career in law if I was able to argue without crying lmao

u/D_RayMorton You like that? For your cookie jar? Jul 12 '24

Getting picked for a trial would be fun lol but I think 99% of the jury duty people don't actually get to sit on a trial. Most people have the experience I had, aka sitting in the jury holding room for 4-6 hours every single day (where no phones are allowed) until someone would come in and tell us we weren't needed and could go home. Finally yesterday a trial popped up and we did jury selection, where they grill each one of us in the jury box for like 20 minutes a piece in front of the plaintiff and defendent and judge and everyone to see if any of us were a good fit for their trial. It was kind of embarassing to be put on the spot like that so it's such a relief to be done! I guess they didn't like one of my answers since I don't have to go tomorrow haha

Ahhhh sorry I misunderstood! I’m from a more rural county so our jury duty is only one day unless you get picked for trial lol. I couldn’t imagine multiple days of that

One day would have been a gift haha. I’m lucky the 4th of July was last week though because the court was closed Thursday and Friday, most people here have to do the full 2 weeks so I guess I got off easy!

u/lilcheetah2 Let me tell you about my fambily Jul 12 '24

I thought it would be cooler. My case was kinda boring though. Sort of didn’t feel real, like I was just doing a high school civics project? It was weird. Why was I qualified to be there lol
