I can't imagine a time limit. What would be the point? Memories of lawsuits can
last a lifetime. It's very stressful, no matter which side you're on.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

As for myself, I would have to have to answer that question as a member of that
panel of prospective jurors. While I have never filed a lawsuit against anyone
or been directly sued, there is little question but that I was a John Doe in one
lawsuit aimed at drying up all funds for the startup company where I worked many
years ago.
And my brothers have been involved in a small number of lawsuits over the last
50 years. I have also been threatened with legal actions a few times (as well as
some not-so-legal actions as well).
And it's quite possible that there may have been some issues about which I don't
even know.
So if someone asked me that question in voire dire, I would hope that I would be
forgiven if I forgot to mention something, especially if I wasn't even aware of
the issue.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Doubt it was the Uk. When I did my UK jury service I filled in no prospective
juror form with questions about bias, etc; instead I was told to wait with the
other prospective jurors each morning until something like 11am (when if no jury
was required we could go home/to work) unless a jury was required in which case
a random selection of 12 from those present was chosen and sworn in.
The only possible forms were:
(1) request to not do jury service,
(2) expenses claim form.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
