I have been summoned
You have been chosen to join the Justice Squadron, 8 a.m. Monday at the Municipal Fortress of Vengeance.
Hell yeah, baby. I got called to jury duty. I get to serve tomorrow. Despite having been a registered voter since 18 and working for lawfirms for the last 6 years, I have never been requested to serve my fellow citizens in such a fashion*.
So what to do you think it will be that will get me kicked? Being a paralegal? Owning AD? Asking the judge ‘what’s this jury nullification I hear so much about?’
I’m bringing a notebook and will report back to you beachcombers when I am done.
The suggestion box is open for ways to make tomorrow fun. }:)

*I realize neither my voter registration status nor my occupation factor into my selection to the jury pool.

Mmm….I’m betting paralegal will get you kicked, but you have so many points against you.
Be careful. Last time I went to jury duty, I accidently got married.

The paralegal thing will probably do it.
I got called for duty once — had to fill out a big questionaire and come back for a second screening — then the case got plea bargained.
I was a little disappointed. I thought serving on a jury might be an interesting experience.
