The unfortunate position of being on a panel of jurors for an extended period of time, with no foreseeable end in sight. Court limbo.
"Sorry I couldn't make it to your show yesterday; I've been stuck in jurgatory for the past two weeks."
"I've been in jurgatory for so long, I'm now friends with everyone at the Quiznos across the street from the courthouse."
