The shirking of jury duty is a real problem in the United States. Give some reasons for this and suggest what can be done about it.

Answer: Like many, many other Americans, Alan Krueger was frustrated by his jury-duty experience. The Princeton economist showed up to court in Mercer County, New Jersey only to be told after an hour's wait he was free to go home for the day: the only case scheduled was settled out of court. He could still be called in on the following days. A "mad frenzy" of the hundred-plus potential jurors ensued when they all tried to get on a bus back to the parking lot.
