Are you in any way allowed to inform others about the case and what you think of the outcome?

Jazz Fest certainly is a valid reason to not be involved in such a mostly worthless thing in my eyes.
As far as I know,during or before the trial, jurors should not talk about the case with each other, with other persons, or allow other people to talk about it in their presence.Quote

Out of print in USA ?
Since you told me it was so good, I checked if I could find it here :
[www.amazon.fr]
The 5" used " ones come from United States ,and the mint one comes from UK
There is even a mint one .

Thanks to those who suggested this book!
I've been wanting to read this for a while.
Apparently, it's out of print. I had to order it from a used book dealer.
I've gotten through the first 76 pages so far, LOL in the jury room while reading.
I suppose some people think I'm crazy when they see me busting out laughing.
Maybe I'll never get picked for a jury!

Don't you find it hard to concentrate on your book with all the witness hearings, discussion of points of law etc. etc. going on in the background?

No, no, no !
Where I live, you have to spend a lot of time waiting in a "jury pool" before you are called to actually enter a court room.
Then you are interviewed by lawyers who decide if you will sit on the jury for a trial.
I need to report for duty every Tuesday & Thursday this month, and so far I have yet to be called to a court room.
I'm already most of the way through the book with all the time I've spent sitting around waiting.

If DSK was in New Orleans, then it could have been!
I'm serving jury duty at Orleans Parish Criminal District Court, which sees cases like robbery, prostitution, rape, murder, etc.
It's just a shot away!Quote
