It likely depends on the courthouse, but generally speaking you’ll show up, sign in, someone will give a little talk about how things work, and then you’ll wait in a waiting room for a few hours while various names are called. Then you’ll go into the court room and the actual jurors will get selected from the pool. They’ll ask some questions and depending on the answer some people will get removed (having a family member who’s a police officer is pretty common).

If you’re not selected, you’ll probably go back to the waiting room to see if you get pulled for another case. If you are, you’ll sit and listen to the details of the case and eventually make a determination. Depending on the case/jurisdiction, you might also be a “backup juror” where you’ll sit through the entirety of the case, but won’t actually be part of the deliberation at the end unless another juror had to drop out for some reason.

I ended up getting a murder trial, which was pretty interesting. Overall wasn’t a horrible experience, but definitely glad I brought a Steam Deck while I was waiting.

That implies management is held accountable

Just curious, why aren’t you vegan if you consider it morally bankrupt to be complicit in the meat industry?

Bear in mind, with this liberal interpretation, any time you access a website, that is also consuming someone’s labor and if you don’t have a subscription to it, it is unpaid.

I’m continually shocked by how often I learn of some structural systemic issue, pull the thread to see where it started and- oh, surprise, it was once again Reagan.
