Has anyone done Jury service and how did you find it?

I suppose it depends on what type of case(s) you get. Mine were not too bad. There was a lady I was chatting to at the start who was thrilled to have been called. She was put on a horrendous case and looked shell shocked at the end.

I used to volunteer for The Witness Service at both the Magistrates and Crown Courts. I loved it and would have liked to do jury service.

If any of you get called, learn a little about drugs before you go. I was woefully ignorant in the jury room and wished I had asked our (policeman) neighbour for a lesson.

I’d love to do it. My son was called when he was 18! The rest of us never have.

I did it once ten years ago and was called again shortly afterwards so was excused. It is very interesting to see how the courts and juries work. My main case was one of anal rape and made harrowing listening. But after our guilty verdict we were told defendant had done this several times before and got away with it. So worthwhile.

I did it 18 months ago and found it very interesting but difficult. I still wonder sometimes if I made the right decision but on the available evidence .....

I’d certainly do it again if called. Old fashioned I know but it’s a civic duty. Where would we be without it?

I did it two years ago. I hated every minute of it. I hope I don't get called again. My husband has never been called and would love to do it.
