Last time I went was about five years ago, county court, felony DWI. Show up by 8:00 am. No firearms, no pocket knives, no cell phones. The selection process was frequently interrupted because the lawyers wanted to conference. They didn't select the jury until almost 5:00. Fortunately an old friend was there too and we spent most of the down time visiting.
I just received a notice to appear January 8th. I will be taking an old fashioned book with me this time.

I have served on a jury before; it was also educational, and not quite as boring once things got started. I agree that it is a vital part of our society and should be handled respectively. If I were the defendant I would certainly want everybody to do so.

Enjoy!
