Why do I have to sit around all day during jury selection?

It takes a long time to select a jury these days. It used to be a much simpler process. They'd say, "Do you know any of these people? Is there any reason you don't think you can serve with a sense of fairness and administer justice?" And you'd say, "I can do that," and you were seated. Now they try to really stack the juries. They try to get people they think have the right psychological profile for particular cases. So they may really nitpick, and that takes a long time. So you might be there all day. You might even be there two days.
