I received a jury summons in the mail today, for the first time. Surprising, as I've only been a legal adult (in the States) for a year.
States that my service is for one trial, although supposedly they can go on for a while. Dunno the probability of actually being selected. I'm assuming that being #175 means there are at least 174 others in the raffle, and probably a lot more.
Anyway, now I'm really curious about the subject so I thought I'd ask my anonymous internet acquaintances.

I've been summoned several times, picked twice. One was a criminal case, the other was a civil case. Hopefully you will get a civil case, as they usually only last a day or two or they settle out. Criminal cases can sometimes last a week or more.
