My experience with Jury service was very disappointing - I had to report to Southwark Crown Court which is the other side of London to me.
I trudged there every morning for a week, hung about until lunch time and was then told we weren't needed and released !
After a week I was told I needn't come in anymore.
It was a hive of activity with lots of interesting cases going on - I felt quite cheated as I would have found it very interesting.
Mind you one of my friends was on the jury of a big investment fraud case that went on for months - it was so complicated that none of the jury understood the financial ins and outs and they had to have days of an accountant explaining it all to them.
She was absolutely fed up by the end of it !
So I suppose I was lucky.
My daughter has jury service in August - she has deferred it once so she has no option but to do it this time.
