I just had to go last week...it stunk! Good news is that once you do it, you are done for 6 yrs! You can't bring your phone in if it is a camera phone! Bring plenty of stuff to do! I brought suduko books and boks to read! They do give you an hour and a half lunch and you can go shopping at the outlets! Business casual is fine! I wore black pants and a nice shirt...there were some guys wearing dirty khakis pants and t-shirts!! Good luck!

Sometimes if you give blood they stamp your pass and your done for the next 6 years!

so sorry for you! my dad did this about 3 months ago and narrowly escaped being put on a real jury...and got stamped out for the 6 years or whatever...and then 6 weeks later, was called again! he had to take another day off and go down and prove he'd already done his part!
