My first job out of college was for a legal publishing company, and they drummed the idea into us that jury duty was IMPORTANT, and that we should consider it a privilege to live in a society where we have such a system. That said, I really like our county’s approach to jury duty. It is possibly a 2 week committment, but they choose all the juries needed on the very first day of the two weeks. So you know that day whether you are on one or not; no hanging around the courthouse or waiting for a call. In my case, they did not need me. I was actually kind of lookng forward to it…
