Stiles & Ferrera Mark Juror Appreciation Day

Stars including Julia Stiles and America Ferrera turned up at a New York court on Thursday (18Nov10) - to participate in an annual salute to jurors.

The actresses were joined by former ER star Julianna Margulies, fashion designer Ralph Lauren and funnyman Jimmy Fallon as they took seats in a jury box as part of the festivities for Jury Appreciation Day in Manhattan Supreme Court.

The special guests were among those who have been called to jury duty over the past year, according to the New York Post.

Speaking at the ceremony, Fallon joked to the crowd, "It's a privilege that we get to do jury duty and come here. You sit at home in your apartment, and you watch (legal drama) Law & Order, and you want to do this kind of stuff... You just feel so exhilarated."
