What you can expect depends very much upon the court system. You may be called to serve as a federal juror. You may be called to serve as a state or local juror. Within each court system there are both civil and criminal matters.
Likewise the amount of time that may be involved depends on what court system is issuing the jury summons. If you are called to serve as a federal grand juror, you may be involved in that proceeding for months. Likewise, if you are called to serve as a juror on a complicated civil or criminal matter you may be in that trial for weeks or months.
At the time of your first appearance as a juror the judge or jury commissioner should explain to you what type of time commitment you are looking at.
