Ive heard that theres a lot of “hurry up and wait” involved with jury duty. What can I do to make the service a little more bearable?
Unfortunately you have to spend some time waiting before being seated on a jury panel. The Court does everything that it can to assure that your waiting is kept to a minimum. Bring whatever you need to help pass the time. You may have cell phones and pagers in the waiting area, but these devices must be turned off while you are in the courtroom. Feel free to bring a book to read (but not during the trial!).
