Have you ever been called for Jury duty?

Extremely rare that I am at this end of the CBD at 7.30 in the morning.
Having breakfast, over the road is the District Court. At least 200 people are lined up outside, stretching along the footpath.
As they enter, they are showing a piece of paper to the attendant. Must be potential jurors, going in for the selection process.
The one time I was chosen for jury duty, maybe 1995 - 97? I do not remember lining up outside such as is happening now.

Several times. The jury pool was small in my hometown, so I was called to jury duty every two or three years. Once we moved to Texas, I had jury duty in the District Courts four or five times and in the City Court one time. I served as jury foreman three times. Now I can avoid serving due to my age.
