I could n't help thinking there must be a more efficient process to calling hundreds of people to show up at the Hall of Justice by 7:45 AM in the morning and having them wait around in the jury lounge to be called ( possibly ) into a courtroom for jury selection . We had an hour of " orientation , " which seemed like more of a pep talk about jury duty . Perhaps that could be shorter ?
Why am I sitting in the Hall of Justice ?
- I want to lounge around
 - I need a pep talk
 - I committed a crime
 - I have jury duty


I have jury duty
