“You need to report to jury duty.”

Have you ever gotten a card with this message on it?

I have, and quite recently in fact. And during my time there, I got to thinking about those words: JURY DUTY. While many will look at it as a DUTY, I don’t think that the word accurately describe what is intended. Instead, I think it should be JURY SERVICE.
