Please post another question mentioning which state you're in...it makes a big difference. Under federal law, an employer does not have to pay you for jury duty. (However, some states including Colorado do require payment.) However, the employer cannot fire you or otherwise discipline you for the time off for jury duty. (Be aware, however, that if you're only on jury duty part of the day, you need to report to work the other part of the day.)
It would depend on the relevant legislation in your area. Probably it wouldn't be acceptable to take your laptop and phone along to jury duty in order to work while attending court or deliberating, though there mightn't be a problem during breaks. If your jury duty is completed for the day, there shouldn't be any reason to prevent you from returning to work. Again, it all depends on your local legislation.
