If I am not mistaken, LA County has just switched to "one day or one trial" jury service. That's the way it is here in Orange County. It's really pretty painless.

It would be except for the judge we have.

We also have a "one day or one trial" jury system. Furthermore, 85% of all trials last for less than one day. And if you show up for service, you won't be called again for another 3 years at a minimum.
It's painless, and it does encourage more people to serve. I went. I didn't get picked for any trial, and I was dismissed by 1 pm.
I would have been happy to actually serve on a jury; our system depends on having competent jurors. We all know what happens when the jury pool is limited to people with an agenda. One of the reasons that none of the clintoon criminals were ever tried is because they would have to be tried in a DC court where the available jurors are known to have an agenda that doesn't include seeing justice done.
