Sep. 22nd, 2011 07:57 pmToday, I got to serve on a jury for the first time.
Fortunately, it was just for a traffic thing - reckless driving - and thus the trial was over by the end of the day. Which is pretty much the ideal jury duty experience. One gets to be part of the System of Justice without interrupting one's schedule too much.
Also, there is a lot of waiting involved in jury duty, so I got a good bit of knitting done. I'm almost finished with the current sock, which I am now going to finish while watching mindless tv.
Hurrah.
