I certainly am willing to do my civic duty and do have an interest and curiosity about our legal system.

My only fear is to get picked for a trial that takes many days or weeks.

Anybody have recent experience in Ocala Circuit Court?
An interesting turn of events... as I started to research the circuit court, it became apparent that my summons was intended for Marion County only, not a multi county circuit. Called the Marion County Clerk and they said my DMV record must reflect Marion vs Sumter as that is the source for their jury pool. Been here almost 8 years now and never had any indication that DMV had me as Marion. Called DMV this morning to get it straightened out.

So, no jury duty to deal with at this time....
