I was called last year, I wrote back and said I'll do it but not at Burnley courts & explained my reasons why.
I was let off

I copied the exes of the sheet they sent, look quite good to me especially if you get a very very long case.

Didn't like your choice of reading Graham

bit heavy for me

would no doubt have taken a James Patterson or Dean Koontz myself

I'd love to do Jury Service, (just for the experience), but they never seem to get to the double U's, when they send these thing's out.

The advice to take a good book was good advice.

The book is not to read during a trial. As has been mentioned, you are lucky if you actually get to sit on a trial. Most of your two weeks could be spent in a room, feeling like you are in the doctor's waiting room for hours on end.

Hence the need for some sort of reading material.

I was chosen last year and lost the will to live, just thinking about it again I feel the urge coming on again. There is a thread about jury service somewhere but I'm not looking for it, horrible, horrible two weeks.

You mean the jury service kate

I did 4 days tues to fri and 4 days mon to thurs in court. The hours spent in the 'doctors waiting room' sapped the life out of me. The canteen is at best a primitive school canteen. İ agree with bagpuss. You lose The will to live in the end.

Always fancied Jury service but never been requested as yet!! Have sat in on some well known trials in London, including the Jill Dando murder case, which was fascinating!
