It was a pretty boring civil case. I suspect we were just deciding how much one insurance company was paying the other…
It was also a pretty one sided case.

Yep, the system is predicated on the decisions of a group that doesn't want to be there, but couldn't figure out a way to get out of it.

I found it is crazy hard to get out of jury duty, but also that everyone took their job seriously when they trial started.

That’s not the scary part. The scary and eye opening part is that an obviously frivolous lawsuit against can bankrupt you.
There is a YouTuber with h3h3 productions and he got hit with a lawsuit and it cost them USD 50k + USD 170k, at least. Maybe chump change if you’re a billionaire but I’d lose by default if you were to sue me.
Kind of scary that this is the rigor our justice system hinges on.
