I think it's natural to feel nervous when you're in a courtroom, especially if you're a juror. You want to make sure you're doing your job right and that you're not messing up the case.

I've largely gotten over it by now, but I was so nervous the first time I was called to give a statement in court that I knocked over a glass of water. The judge was less than impressed

It's funny because courts vary so much based on their location and jurisdiction. Traffic court just looks like a glorified conference room, whereas federal court is all dark polished wood and fancy office chairs. Amazing how big of a disparity you will find

That must have been before you were with the department... full-time police officers are exempt from jury duty. I had jury duty a long time ago and it's actually what got me interested in pursuing law enforcement as a career. Was it the same kind of thing for you?
