When you're on a jury, you're part of the people who make a decision on whether someone who is being charged for a crime is guilty or not.

Civil Lawsuits as well. Juries largely control the outcome of a case, as well as punishment or recovery. It is a cool job but you don't get paid anything and you are forced to do it.

I hear if you have a job they'll pay you whatever your income was for all the days that you miss. And don't they provide lunch as well?
