Inside the jury room: Picking the jury

Welcome!

Question 1:

How long was it from when I was first requested to give information to the court, to actually showing up as a member of the jury pool?

	3 hours			9 months

	2 weeks

Question 2:

The summons say you may be chosen to serve on a jury for a period of up to two weeks. What does this mean?

	They'll have you picking up trash around he courthouse if there's nothing else to do			You'll be sitting around in a jury pool for 2 weeks

	Most trials last 2 weeks or less

Question 3:

A happy juror handler came in, changed the monitors to black and made us watch a dated instructional video about the valuable service jurors play to the legal system. The hostess of the video had a stunning 1980's hairstyle, eerily reminiscent of?

Jon Bon Jovi

Princess Di

Question 4:

We walk into the jury room, and people are inside waiting for us. I expected an empty courtroom, but the plaintiffs and defendants are there to see the jury picked. I'm potential juror 19, and the jury box holds 14, so I end up sitting?

	On the witness stand			On the judge's lap

	In the audience seating

Question 5:

So we're in the courtroom, and everything is going along just dandy. Some people definitely don't want to be on the jury, but with my number I don't think I'll make it in. Just then the defendant's attorney turns to me and says?

	"What's that smell?"			"Did you call me Matlock?"

	"What about you? You're a mystery to me"
