Could be - I keep meeting people who have been called up recently. I’ve not done it for years myself, and when I was called up it was to crown court in Englandshire. Two interesting cases over two weeks.
I appreciate it is a hassle for some but I do think everyone who possibly can do it, should do it. There are few enough things connecting us to shared civic experience in this country and jury service is a sort of reminder that we’re all connected and owe something to each other.
