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.

Your wife was fired for doing jury duty is this legal?
It most likely was not legal. Jury duty is a compulsory duty imposed by law and it may not be interfered with by private individuals or companies. States have laws that require employers to permit their employees to fulfill jury duty requirements without retaliation. Employers cannot be forced to pay an employee for time missed from work, but they cannot take any adverse action against you for going. Same in the UK and all civilized countries, providing the employer is made aware of the duty. An individual or company with a strong case can ask for a deferral of duty.
When reporting for jury duty do you need to bring identification?
This is fully dependent on which court you're reporting to. The court I last reported to did not require any such thing, but it's very unlikely that you and I report to the same court.

It's very likely that there's a phone number on your jury duty paperwork that they sent you.
