I had to serve on a jury, and I will say it was an interesting experience. In fact I was disappointed that the trial was cancelled due to Covid shutting down the courthouses.
I reported and was among hundreds of people in a very large room. Slowly we were whittled down, with various groups being dismissed or called away. Finally I was in a group called away. Probably a few dozen people. We were told we were being considered as jurors for a first degree murder trial. I thought to myself "holy shit, this is as serious as it gets!". We were questioned as to whether we could be objective, had any relationship with legal system, etc., and more people were whittled away, until finally we were told we were the jury pool for the murder trial.
I won't go into details of that, but we did serve for over a week, before the trial was cancelled. It was certainly an interesting experience, and to me the seriousness with which everyone took their role (at least at the courthouse) reinforced the value of the jury system.
(Edit to add - I worked for a company that paid us for jury duty, plus the Commonwealth paid us a stipend, so I actually made a little money. Unlike Blue I didn't have a business to keep running!)
