it is. the waiting part is boring. but once in a court room you see what actually really goes on compared to tv.

i just got back from my first jury duty, and i just sat around all morning playing sukodu on my phone. whatever you like to do while on bart or a plane (gameboy, books, crosswords, ipod, etc) bring it with you and you'll be fine.

don't count on being able to use your cellphone! for example, redwood city's jury room is underground and there was no signal, though they do have free wi-fi.
