I got stuck twice with jury duty last year, and never even got a judge to talk to me (got called in and excused halfway through the day both times). I agree, the huge waiting room thing is just strange and annoying... I brought headphones too.
I also thought members of the bar were excused from jury duty. Maybe it's just an unwritten rule, though -- they know for sure that one of the lawyers on the case will always bump them if they ever get into consideration. Have to ask my nephew the shyster next time I see him.
I must be on this weird no call list for jury duty. I've only once gotten a letter for jury duty. but they called me a week ahead of time to not come in. Must have been something on my questionaire. Maybe I watch too many cop shows or something. Granted we don't get very many jury trials here in Shelbyville, but in all those time I had nothing to do, it woudln't have been a bad way to spend a day...that is..compaired to watching Tony Danza.
