Leavin on a jet plane
Last weekend I jetted off to St. Louis for a wedding. It was a spectacular time. When I finally got home at midnight, I saw a letter from the Sheriff's office chilling on the kitchen table. When there is a letter displayed so prominently, it means that whoever left the letter there thinks I am in trouble and wants me to read it. But the joke's on her - I am not in trouble!
In fact, I have been summoned for jury duty. One might think as a law student who is starting law school in 8 days, I would be excited to serve on a jury. I'll have a in-depth look at the way a courtroom and the whole justice system works. But you and I know that is bullshit.
I am supposed to appear on either Oct. 18, Oct. 25, or Nov. 1. This is some nice planning ahead by the Sheriff's office. But, sadly, I will be unable to fulfill my constitutional obligation. I will be wiling away the hours, studying, and will have little in the way of effort to expend on jury duty. Not only that, I will be doing so 400 miles away, in the city which, I am sure, if my official place of residence.
Has anyone else ever been to jury duty? I am interested to hear what it is like.
