Jury Duty is a comedy mockumentary that follows a fake court trial through the eyes of Ronald Gladden. Ronald does not know that the court case, the judge, and all of his fellow jurors are actors. The show focuses on the funny things that happen to Ronald and the other jurors during the trial. The story relies entirely on lighthearted pranks, wholesome interactions, and the silly quirks of the cast.
