How long will I be at the courthouse?

Iloilo Jones (Executive Director of Fully Informed Jury Association) gives expert video advice on: Who should I ask if I have questions about reporting for jury duty?; What do I need to know before I show up for jury duty?; How should I prepare before going to the court house? and more...

If you receive a summons and you have to go to the courthouse it's hard to tell how long you will be there. Some people show up and if its a traffic case or something fairly simple they may just take the first twelve people, they may say do we need, does anybody in this group know this person or this person or this person, are you related to any of these people in any way, do any of you work for this company, were any of you ever involved in something and then they may send you home. On the other hand, if it's a very complicated case and there are sixty people called in the jury pool, you may be there all day, while they question you individually and in depth.
