Once got selected for the county grand jury. Normally 6 weeks, 3 days a week (no trials Mon and Fri). One of the weeks had a holiday, which the Judges took off. So it was just 5 weeks served. Very interesting process and cases that come before the grand jury. I was honored to serve and do it again gladly.

I've never served on a Grand Jury, but I did serve on a Jury in a Medical Malpractice lawsuit. It was a rewarding civic experience; three weeks of witness testimony and lawyer's arguments followed by three days of deliberating the veracity and strength of the arguments. Initially, we were a split jury that eventually concluded with a unanimous decision in favor of the plaintiff. I'd gladly do it again if asked.

For some reason, never been called for the jury pool.
(Even though Tina and I are both registered to vote and haven't missed an election in twenty five years.)

Got called for jury duty for the first time this year. Did not get picked the first week for the 2 juries seated but got picked for the trial the next week which only lasted 2 days. Interesting process but would not care to do it again with my hearing problem. They let me sit down front but I still had trouble and was concerned with not understanding everything. Judge was very tolerant with me.
Had to testify at a State and a Federal grand jury when I lived in Minnesota and that was stressful. Had people stalking me and my family, got a death threat, not a good time.

Been on it twice...not fun. Long days.

I guess I am lucky. My previous career has kept me out of the pool and if I "was" called up my chances of being seated would be slim to none. If selected, after further screening, they would probably dismiss me for medical reasons.
