I recently discovered that one of the grounds you can be deemed unacceptable for the jury in Britain is to have a history of depression or mental illness. I found this because a workmate who had a messy divorce 10 years ago was told not to bother to come when he confirmed on a questionnaire that he'd been on Prozac at the time.
It seems that under Health and Safety law, during the trial the court is your employer, and that they have a legal duty of care for your mental welfare, so are not allowed to stress you. Win!

In labyrinths of Coral Caves,
The Echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand;
And everthing is Green and Submarine
