I got called for jury duty many, many years ago first in our county, was excused and then within a few months was called for federal jury duty. That was interesting. These were mostly federal drug crime cases. The voir dire was done in groups and first they would ask “does anybody here have family members in government or military service“ and up would go my hand. Then they would ask “does anybody here work in healthcare, mental health or in drug or alcohol, abuse, etc.“ and up would go my hand. Then one of the attorneys down front turned around and yelled “hi Dr XXXXX- so good to see you” to me, as we had worked together on a case. Needless to say I was excused 
I have testified in several cases as an expert witness and that was interesting but I guess that’s a separate conversation.
