In reading the comments on the NY Times article, the idea of allowing people to volunteer and/or schedule themselves for a particular week, while presenting logistical issues for the Court, would undoubtedly improve the selection pool.

I would not trust a juror who volunteered to be there. Such a person likely has an agenda that would bias his/her ability to make an impartial decision.
