That's if you even get to the interview proccess. I had to call the night before for them to tell me if I really needed to show up. I had to go because they had a case where the guy wanted a jury trial. So, I sat there because they said it was a morning trial. It was delayed so we were let out for lunch. When we got back they were going to start picking a jury, but the guy decided he had no chance and just plead guilty. So, they cut everyone a check for a day and let us go. I don't think you get the interview untill they are actually picking for a jury. I didn't at least. That was in Maywood.

just take lots of reading material and change for the vending machines. Most times you just call the night before. If you do go in you may sit till 2 and get sent home. Only once did I go in a court room. Everyone is very nice and asks you questions about how you feel about stuff. Mine was a passanger sueing when the car she was in was rearended. I told them I had been hit twice like that, they let me leave almost right away.

You better knock on wood. I said that once and I swear, two weeks later, I got called! My friend had a couple of years where she got called every six months. She complained about it and brought proof of being called to court once and they haven't called her since.

I got a notice for it once and all I did was sit there all damn day. It was sooooooo boring, no calls, no interview and this was at bridgeview I think. At about 2pm they finally let us leave, and then my company made the mistake of paying me double time or something so I actually made a lot of money sitting around smoking and reading a book! LOL

Once, I was called for jury duty at 26th and Cal. It was around 3:30 and the announcement was made that we were probably going to let go in a few minutes. All of a sudden, a case came about and my group was called. SOB!!! Oh well. So, we went to the courtroom. The lawyers were interviewing people and were letting people go left and right. Mind you, this was a going on and it was 5:30! The judge was getting pissed and told the defense and prosecutor that they using the exculsions too much. Guess they got the hint. It was almost 6:00 when I left. What a long BORING day....

Just tell them that your a criminal justice major..that way theyll let you go cause they think ur opinion will be altered...its worked b4 and if u really dont want to go its an idea

 

[framos242]

Not necessarily....

Depending on the case, it helps to know some law enforcement people.

It sounds like everyone has gone the first day and then left. Who has served on the jury
