I did this around 2009. No cell phones in the building and you can get excused if 70 or over or take care of small kids or others with special needs.

The case I was on lasted about three days or so if memory serves. I got on the jury panel but the judge challenged me as I was being quite skimpy with my answers to his questions. I had to be as my background with the legal system is very complicated and cannot be covered in a few short sentences. I did follow the ruling by the judge in the media. It was a cop suing for discrimination on the basis of race. He had wanted to write his police reports in Spanish and some members of his department bullied him because of it. Judge found for the police department but criticized the employer and some of the police force for their actions. But did not hold them liable.
