Jury Duty

I spent two hours in the jury lounge and the rest of the day in a courtroom watching the voir dire process. They plan to have a jury seated by lunchtime tomorrow. They have a large pool of potential jurors since it's going to be a fairly long trial (probably going to last till September 5). My chances of getting on the jury are rather small.

Only woven fabrics are bias - so wear felt and the attorneys won't get a free feel when your called up.

In Mass. we have a "one day or one trial" system. If after sitting in the jury selection room for one day you don't get picked, that counts as jury duty for the next 3 years. I've never actually served on a jury, though practically all my co-workers have. Everybody enjoyed their juridicial experience.
