It's alot of sitting around and waiting and being bored, you also learn how much wastage in time and money in the legal system. Got two minor theft cases over the the week period each lasting 2 days, got called in on four days only to be sent home at 1pm and the other two days i wasn't needed. Both cases were bang to rights but we had a couple of jurors on one trial who wouldn't convict as they worried about the sentence the accused would get, even tough it was pointed out to them that this isn't in our remit. Found it interesting when actually on a jury and because the cases were minor they had junior barristers, there is something quite sexy about a well-spoken young woman going for the accused ;-)
