Why not me or my family?

I did two jury duties. From my seat in the jury box , in my loud clear voice I had to ask the official to get a lawyer to speak up as he was an awful mumbler. The official was not paying attention and the judge had to ask the official to pay attention to my request. It was a very boring case to do with people getting lifts on a lorry which was not suited to people- carrying.

My daughter is about to serve for the third time

I loved doing jury service - have been called twice. I have several friends who have never been called.

I always wanted to be called for jury service . I love anything to do with law etc. But never have been called and never will, now I'm over 70.

I did it once. It was a very serious and responsible job and I did not try to get out of it, despite my employer’s objections, the long 2 buses journey and leaving alone my 4 teenagers and a newborn orphaned puppy.
It was a horrible case, multiple rape of young girl and we jurors were threatened in the near-riot afterwards.
