Well you get a summons for it (it probably would be boring) And even that doesn't guarantee that you'll serve. Here in the U.S., it is the citizen's duty to serve on a jury, since it is one our rights given to us in the Constitution.

It's just a jury summons. I don't know if I'll be serving at all, and even if I do serve, I don't know yet if I'll be on a civil or criminal jury.

What's the difference between a civil and criminal jury?

Civil is, "Hey, that wench owes me $200 and hasn't paid me back, Imma gonna sue his @$$." Criminal is, "Hey, that b-tard robbed me of $200 and Imma gonna get the police and the state to prosecute him."

...Can't there just be one jury for both things? XD

KABOOOOOOOOOM*explosion happens right under her feet and sends her flying into the air*

Not really. XD.

The difference between a civil and criminal jury just depends on the case really. (A case is either a civil or criminal matter). However, civil juries set more social policy. A criminal jury must determine if someone is guilty or not, and at times, they may make sentencing recommendations.

The funny thing was to, I was seriously thinking about signing up to be a part of the Civil Grand Jury.

A grand jury is a body of often 23 people who are chose to sit permanently for at least a month (sometimes a year) and who, in ex parte proceedings decide whether to issue indictments. In other words, If the grand jury decides that the evidence is strong enough to hold a suspect for trial, it returns a bill of indictment charging the suspect with a specific crime. (Grand juries are required under the "Grand Jury" clause of the United States Constitution, in the Fifth Amendment to require an indictment by a grand jury before a person can be tried for serious offenses).

There can be a civil grand jury, but those are for complex civil cases....And hooray for Black's Law Dictionary. XD


And no..Perhaps it's long past time to go see a chiropractor?

ugh...I hope I never have jury duty. I'm not looking forward to it

Me too...

I don't have a long attention span to survive a day in court XD

No, more like time to go to my locker and stop carrying everything around.

Ah, but getting a massage isn't a bad idea...Well, no they do not "sit in" for a petite jury. In criminal matters, before you get arrested, someone from the District Attorney's Office (or any other prosecutor) goes to a grand jury to determine if there is enough evidence to go to trial.

XD. You can be surprised Divine...>.> Jury duty can be a bad thing of the jury has to be sequestered.
Which is when the jury has to be segregated or isolate during trial.

You explain things well. I'd do a crap job XD because I've tried to explain the court system before and it's not pretty
