I haven’t been called since I was a working commercial liability insurance underwriter, but my luck was such that I always got called for criminal court. IIRC I was called six times, picked four, and returned a verdict three times. I was stuck as foreman each time. Enough.
I assume if I ever get called for civil if the case in any way involves insurance I’m out.

I only got summoned for jury duty where I had to answer questions. This was when I was 19.
Judge: What's your name?
Me: Paul D.
Judge: Is your dad a doctor?
Me: Yes. His name is so and so.
Judge: Oh, he's my doctor. You are dismissed!
I have never been selected to a jury pool ever since.
Jury duty was fascinating the time I was called for it. It was a drug possession case and the questions for selection hovered around whether one had any addict relatives or immediate LE family. I had neither and therefore had no out. I also didn't have enough lack of ethics to lie about health problems or whatever other excuses people try on the judge of which people were throwing out tons.
The most fascinating aspect was just watching the lawyer show. Those folks are pretty skilled at swaying opinions and building narratives.
Jury deliberations sucked. People waffle so hard sometimes on basic facts.
