I've never served real jury duty. Here at DU I've participated in all I've been called to.

I know, cracked me up I wasn't even 18 for 3 months before I got called. I got chosen and it was a 4 day trial. Depending on what it is, you will learn SO much about the justice system where you are. It's quite fascinating.

Here I've served on quite a few juries. So far, no really super difficult ones, almost all were unanimous.
