I've been given notice for jury duty like 5 times in my life, and it has never gone beyond calling into the system to hear my group has been dismissed. I've only ever known 1 person to even actually serve on a jury once, and that was my dad.
Though I did take a job as a juror for a mock trial once ($250 for 4 hours of my time? Hell yeah); basically the lawyers presenting their cases to us and seeing what would be the most likely outcome before actually going to court. IDK why they needed it with that particular case; it was pretty cut snd dry. The defense had no leg to stand on what-so-ever. Maybe it was to determine how much punitive damages might be suggested ๐ค
