Jury Duty
How would I say, "I'm on jury duty"?

I think jury (from conversations with native speakers) is jurado. I guess I'm curious if I would use it the same as in English like, "Estoy en el jurado"? I actually am on jury duty right now and I was explaining to my partner at work. He seemed to understand, but I want to know if I said it right. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Poli! For some reason "a jurado" sounds better
