I mean, have you ever received a summons from the courts that you've been assigned as a potential juror (as in you have to respond and appear when being called, usually you're given a number and asked a bunch of questions) however is the chance on being selected low as being part of the 12 jurors at a trial? Does the overall pay depend on the type of case whether it's low or high profile?

I was reading anecdotes of british jury duty recently (can't remember where - maybe here or reddit); it sounds grim for exactly that reason

Still, i might trust a jury of nobheads more than british judges recently.
