Yes I did jury service in the 70s. I was disappointed because at the last minute the accused pleaded guilty (possesion of drugs). So I was not needed for very long. interesting experience though. Ann Glos |

Still looking forward to it - and I must practice my curtsey!! There is 2 web sites that you can look at and a virtual tour of court setting. My brother was summoned - but got a phone call 2 or 3 days before hand - saying he was not needed as the court he was due to attend was shut down for some reason or other. www(.)hmcourts(-)service(.)gov(.)uk www(.)cjsonline(.)gov(.)uk/juror Liz |
