Should California end compulsory jury duty and implement an all volunteer jury system in every court ??

Dear California voters (Monday November 14th 2005)
Even with the one day one trial law mandatory
jury duty in California can still be difficult
for some people who are summonned because the
summons is always to a distant courthouse that is hard
to get to and might occur on the day of a college
test or a critical workday or result in young
children being left unsupervised for at least one day.
Are there any voters in California who are willing
to vote for or advocate converting all courts to
use all volunteer juries instead of continuing
the mandatory jury summonses ??
