I was picked first day for a big case. Ended up being there for nearly 3 weeks.
It was very draining, I often came home and went straight to bed. As there was so much info to take in but that probably being that it was a long case.
It is very interesting though.

Yes and it was a pain in the bum and very boring,but of course a necessary duty.
I was worried I was going to be picked for a fraud case that they advised would be at least 7 weeks long but they did say if it really is going to cause problems then they will take that into consideration when they pick the jury.
I think I had to do 2 weeks in the end it was a good while ago.I could still work in the evenings and you get expenses and a certain amount loss of earnings.

I've been picked for jury service twice now..
Once when I was 19 (jeeze some 22yrs ago) but my son was a tiny baby very poorly in Hosp and about to undergo an operation and liver biopsies.
Second time I was 21 and again unable to do it as my son was very poorly in Hosp with his condition.
I was gutted as I would have loved to have done jury service, maybe I'll get a third time lucky

I did it this time last year. I was hoping for a couple of chilled out weeks reading.
I got picked the first day for a big case and was on for almost three weeks. It was very stressful and traumatic - remember to set aside your feelings and judge the case on evidence only. This can be hard but justice must be done!
Good luck. A lot of people just sat around doing nothing!

Just make sure you photocopy any receipts that you send afterwards to claim your expenses.
They messed all of mine up and I got back less than half of what I was supposed to receive from travel etc x

I had to get them to defer me again at short notice. My friends son was could dead on Sunday so I had to be with my friend so I pleaded with them to let me defer it which luckily they did once they recorded written proof from my friend.

Oh goodness
your poor friend.I'm glad they deferred it for you but how harrowing for your friend to have to provide written proof of losing her child.

No, been asked twice. I have always known of witnesses, defendants, etc. a fair few of the judge"lords" I have had their wives as clients but doubt that exempts me, although if you have studied law your also exempt. I have been witness to 2 murder trials as beauty therapist as they found my business card in their belongings. Funny thing was I saw their photos both times flashed up on the telly and never made the connection until the police turned up as they were regulars!
