Jury Duty - What Would You Wear ?
31 Answers
https:/
Here is a still from a TV drama, showing part of the jury box. It got me thinking about the various different dress styles. On my first Jury Duty I wore a suit and tie, and as a result (being the only one so dressed) the rest of them appointed me as Foreman. On my second spell I dressed casual, and we appointed someone else.
What did (or would) you wear when sitting on a Jury.
Finally, here is what the Gov Website has to say on the topic
[i] There is no strict dress code and you can wear clothes you’re comfortable in, such as jeans and a t-shirt.
Very casual clothing such as shorts or clothing with inappropriate logos or slogans are not allowed. [i]

I'm glad I accepted the Foreman role - it was an interesting experience. And it had an amusing end. After standing up to deliver the verdict, I sat down again. But because there was a minor complexity about the case which the Judge decided we plebs were too thick to appreciate (even though he had fully explained it before sending us out to deliberate) he questioned me further - the expression on the Court Usher's face when I answered while remaining seated was priceless :-)
