    Good time to spot this thread, I've just been summoned for jury service for the first time ever! I'm in next month. I'm happy to attend as I like to do my bit and I'll admit I'm curious about the whole process.

    Has anyone done it since the Covid restrictions were put in place? If you don't want to post your experiences here please DM me, I want to know what to expect!

    I'm to show up at 9.15am - what time are you usually kept there until if you're selected? Most importantly - what's the lunch like? :D

    How many are real cases and how many are Damo reoffending for the 235th time in 5 years? Want to be a hero? Go be a scouts leader/soccer coach and prevent young Damo and Chantal from going down the drugs route.

    Circuit court trials by jury are not very common. When they are, it's usually something reasonable serious. Yes it may be someone with 100 convictions but you won't know that.

    I'm not playing anyone as a hero for doing it, I'm merely pointing out it is important and it is a civic duty.

    I would absolutely agree that people volunteering their time in clubs is a noble activity

    So have you ever had an interaction with a guard?

    Yes, I own a fairly powerful car and have my fair share of penalty points, plus a friend of mine joined up recently, does that count?

    Lunch is really good, decent selection too.

    So if you are on trial you would be happy to be judged by a jury of idiots.

    I dont have a deep interest in the law and can assure you I am no idiot and find your comment offensive.

    There is a large stretch of the imagination to get me on an offence.
    Why would you want to on a jury when you could be building your own career or business? Nobody cares you were on a jury.

    I am offended that you are offended at me offending you. If you are offended at every little microaggression, you should stay at home and much less stay away from the internet. I will be around with hot chocolate and hug to make you feel better. By any chance did you complain to the judge at the trial that you found the defendants actions offensive?

    Got called a while back.

    Booked a flight on ryanair the day I got my letter, was one way to London for €6.99, sent it in and said I'd be away.

    Had I of gone in it would have cost me €7.20 Dart fare anyway so worked out cheaper in the end.
