Jury Duty, Anyone?


A trial just wrapped up that almost involved me as a juror. I can't talk about the case, but the expected duration of the trial really would have been a hardship with my work situation. They excused me from service. I know there are some people who would say anything to get out of jury duty, but I can only say positive things about my experience. Sitting on a jury back in 1999 provided a solid civics lesson and was even enjoyable. Like voting, it's gratifying to help make a little difference and not worth looking like a major jerk to get out of it.
