I think it would be great if we had more full time paid jurors. One time I was called into the box for selection but they didn't keep me. It's an intriguing job and I would personally enjoy doing it full time. Imagine all the different cases and discussions one would have.

My wife is the court reporter of our smallish county. There is maybe one jury trial a year, the rest of the time the courts are filled with paternity cases, child abuse, divorces, etc. which apparently gets pretty boring after a while. There's not the wide variety I think you'd think there'd be, at least in our county.
