I have served on a grand jury, two criminal juries, two civil juries, and one traffic court jury, spread out over about fifty years. I have been elected jury foreman on the criminal juries, and on one of the civil juries.
No, it's not fun, and yes, it was a burden for me to be gone from work and other things.
But, I will go when called, simply because I will serve if there is a chance I will take the place of someone who doesn't care what happens. I have many relatives in law enforcement, that usually is a good enough excuse to get someone off. I spent about six years working closely with the local DA's office while collecting hot checks for the company I worked for. That got me off a couple of times. I don't try to get on or off.
The most interesting time I served was on the grand jury. At the time it was a week long process, from 8 til 5 every day. The last day we stayed until about ten that night so we wouldn't have to come back on Saturday morning.
Our judicial system is not perfect, but it's the best in the world.
