The one time I wanted to sit on the jury, they dismissed me because I was a subject matter expert on the specific subject they were trying (and testified regularly before the court on the subject) and they didn't want me dominating the jury. It was a federal fraud case and I am a better witness than the feds had gotten, just I'm very, very expensive.
But I usually do state superior court. Federal district court? That was exciting. I'm still a little grumpy I didn't get seated in that one. I was even willing to promise to behave myself (and even willing to keep that promise too, federal court is different than state court)
