We've all either had to go, should have gone but made up an excuse, or are most likely going to be summoned in the future. Yes, I am talking about jury duty. For the many U.S. citizens who haven't even stepped foot in a courthouse, potentially being part of a jury is out of the ordinary and can be intimidating, to say the least.

Earlier this summer I attended jury duty for the first time. Coming from someone who watched the entire first season of the FX true crime anthology television series "The People V O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story,"in one night and is an avid fan of "Orange is the New Black," I found this experience to be incredibly interesting and even exciting. Going into it, I had no clue what to expect, and my mind was buzzing with millions of thoughts throughout the day.
