I grew up in Wisconsin and never got a jury selection notice, but after moving I seem to get one almost once a year. Like you, I look forward to being selected, but unfortunately every time I have been notified that I don't need to show up. In college one of the required courses was Business Law, and we had to sit in on a trial at a nearby courthouse. It was a federal case involving multiple counts of fraud and was very interesting. I wish I could have sat in on the entire trial and learned the final outcome.
I hope that if I do ever get selected that it won't be a depressing case, especially one involving children. I'd much prefer a white collar crime or civil dispute.
