Indeed  Nah, just civil stuff. One of the cases was the solicitors I'm at being sued  ...they won the case easily though. Another one was claiming compensation after a Road Traffic Accident. As well as looking at a few cases which are going to the High Court later on. |

The most satisfying/funniest was watching all the chavs getting sent down at Dewsbury Magistrates, and a paedo in Leeds The guy who tried suing the solicitors I'm at now, is now using us to sue the solicitors who negligently advised him to sue us. Which is quite ironic, if you understand it |

He was originally up for Attempted Murder, but it was obvious he wasn't meaning to kill him. He was this huge 19 years old, real big chav, had all the jewellry and clothes. Jury Service is great, you get free meals too lol |

Hope to do jury service sometime, I'll make my mind up in a second Oooh, it's not as easy as that! You really do have to consider all the evidence presented. My initial thoughts when I did mine was that this guy did mean to kill this other guy, but as the evidence progressed, it became apparant that he didn't. |

Ah you'd served on a Jury within the last 2 years so you were excusable |

For the first day, I was just sat around. But the second day I was called onto a case and that lasted for 2 weeks. You're not allowed to talk about it either with family or friends. My case made the front page of the YEP and I was dying to tell someone! |

Must have been weird reading about the case (you're not supposed to do that really either  ) in the paper and comparing it to what you've heard |
