I’ve only served on two juries, but I can promise you that in neither case did any
juror ever multitask or sleep.



How do you know that?

I can sit in on a meeting and be working on software in my head (I used to play simultaneous chess blindfolded). The only problem is if someone asks me a question that takes a little effort to answer.

I had a look at some images of courtrooms on Google Images. Many jury rooms aren’t the best for ergonomics. It looks like some jurors may have to turn their heads back and forth in a range of 90 degrees to look at the witness and the attorney going back and forth unless the attorney walks up to the witness stand. Some courtrooms have chairs that swivel but some also have plain old wooden chairs.
