Last week, I spent Tuesday and Wednesday serving my first jury duty. I served at the Dailey Center for the Circuit Court of Cook County.
They have a one day, one trial system where your service obligation is fulfilled if you (1) wait in the juror waiting room all day, (2) get called for jury selection but are dismissed, or (3) get selected and serve on one trial.
I was selected as the 12th juror, so I served on a civil case Wednesday. It was interesting, and fortunately easy to come to a consensus when the jury deliberated.
