  This Ordinary Day — Authority: 413
  When I received a jury duty summons, I thought I’d put in a day, two at most, before being dismissed. But in a matter of hours, I was chosen as Juror Number Three for a three-week trial (which I can not talk about, because I’ve been sworn to privacy. Don’t ask me questions!). The 16-person jury (12 plus four ...

• Jury Duty 4: Defense lawyers are not as evil as you think

  
  GetSheila — Authority: 109
  My hands-down #1 take away from last week’s jury duty on a criminal trial is this: Defense lawyers are not the spawn of Satan Though some of them may appear so. All I knew about defense lawyers before serving jury duty was what I saw on television and in movies: Defense ...

  The economy is so bad that African television stations are showing ‘Sponsor an American Child’ commercials! The economy is so bad that I saw a van full of legal immigrants illegally crossing the border to Mexico. The economy is so bad, a picture is now only worth 200 words. The economy is so bad, Snoop Dogg had ...

• Jury Duty 2: Jury Selection

  
  GetSheila — Authority: 109
  If you have never been summoned for jury duty, it can be a bit nerve wracking on your first day not knowing how things work. I did a little research to put my mind at ease and found all sorts of information out there, some good, some not so much. The California Jury Information Resource Center has essentially ...

• Jury Duty, Active Duty

  
  The Hung Juror — Authority: 121
  The massacre yesterday at Fort Hood convinces me that Americans have forgotten what “ duty ” means. Duty is obligation. Duty is requirement. Duty is being bound to service. If you are an American, jury service is your duty . If you are an American soldier, active duty in time of war is your duty. ...

• Jury Duty 1: Preliminary Thoughts

  
  GetSheila — Authority: 109
  Happy birthday to me: I turned 45 on Monday. Yippee! I’m excited I’m not dead. It’s good to be above ground. As a special present this year, the State gave me jury duty. And by jury duty, I mean the kind where you actually have to stay for the trail, as opposed to the kind where you show up and sit around all ...

  manic mariah — Authority: 117
  I am doing my duty as a civilian and serving on a jury (I know, I can’t believe they picked me either). I spent the entire day yesterday being herded around like cattle as the lawyers and the judge decided on the ‘best’ panel. I sat in the courtroom playing a really important game of Scrabble on my phone when ...

  Presque Isle Files — Authority: 120
  Alright kids I thought I would fill you in on my Columbus Day adventure known as jury duty.  Now I know some of you may quickly lump me into the ever growing group who despise jury duty.  I get it I understand, herded about like cattle, forms and papers to fill out, not so nice secretaries ( I called the courthouse ...

• 15 Days of Eating Lunch in Downtown LA

  
  Dig Lounge — Authority: 116
  So I have Jury Duty for an anticipated 15 days. That’s about 90 hours, taking into account lunches and breaks, of arguments and deliberation. It’s my civil duty, but it’s my third summons in 5 years, and the second jury selection in that same span. Maybe I fit some sort of preferred juror profile. Or maybe ...

• Jury Duty Lunch No. 4: Wasabi Grill in New City

  
  Small Bites — Authority: 130
  The thing about Wasabi Grill: I’ve been there before, and the salmon belly is so good it haunts me. So even though I was tempted by the more “lunchy” things, like a grilled tuna sandwich that looked really delicious, I couldn’t not get the salmon belly. I was trapped: I also didn’t want to get ...

  I spent 8 hours Monday and 6 hours Wednesday immersed in a sociological study known to most simply as jury duty . Mind you, this is my third go at exercising my civic duty, so Im somewhat of an expert at this public petrie dish. Its such a fascinating cross-section of humanity—well, at least the humanity that ...

  Small Bites — Authority: 130
  I dropped by Drop By Gourmet during my time on jury duty in New City this month. It was busy, busy, busy. I ordered the egg salad and dill with Spanish olives, pimento and watercress on marble rye bread. The sandwich was a revelation. The bread was soft and fresh. The pimento were sweet but had a tang and the olives ...
