Agreed here. I was chosen once, spent a day and a half with a civil trial. Was actually quite interesting. The plaintiff was suing for some damages based on a certain reason. By letter of the law, the defendant (a company) was not guilty for THAT reason. But it was clear they were negligent in other areas; but we couldn't do anything about that, it wasn't part of the suit.
Felt bad for the plaintiff, had some medical issues....and it was an interesting experience. But not necessarily something I'd want to do again, especially on a larger case.
