Jury Duty
I've been summoned for jury duty again.
Those who were on the f-list last year may recall my adventure serving on the jury of the Russian immigrant accused of DUI whose defense consisted of asserting that his chronic medical problems caused him to fail the roadside sobriety tests, not actual intoxication.
I really enjoyed the experience, including the challenge of coming to a verdict, and I'm looking forward to going back. This time I won't be downtown, but in the secondary court in a suburb south of the city. It will be a long-ish commute, but I have my iPod.
My summons date is May 14th, which fortunately is after the next class I'm registered to take through work.

I loved jury duty though ... having once wanted to be a professional within the legal system, I love being a part of the process and watching it work. I want to believe in fiction that our legal system is impartial and fair, even though I know it's not ... it's just better than many another system out on the market today.
