The firm I work at does patent litigation, which is a federal issue in the courts. And the suits often wind up being in courts where one of the companies is based. We have a bunch of trials regularly held in the District of Delaware and have for years.

Sometimes a trial requires a jury. I wonder how residents of Delaware feel when they get called to serve on a jury for a case involving one of these corporations? I'd be curious to see the statistics on the number of cases in D. Del. compared to other Districts. Do Delaware citizens get stuck in boring corporate trials far more often than citizens of other states? Are there so many that if you live in Delaware you are pretty much guaranteed that at some point you'll be sitting on a boring corporate case?
