...I've been picked to serve on jury the week of 25 August. I can't wait, can't wait, can't wait!
Normally I would agree, heh. :)
But the last time I got picked it was potentially for a sex abuse of children case. And knowing someone who'd been going through the cleanup of that with her kids, all I could think of was anything BUT. THIS. CASE. PLEASE!
Attorney for the defense was an ass - I had more of a dislike for him than the defendent, since the attorney was extremely intimidating and insisted I had to give a yes or no answer to his question, not my honest maybe. :P
Since then, I really really really REALLY wish there was an "opt out of specific types of cases" ability. Ideally "case without asshole attorneys" *laughs* but I'll take "sign me up for civil cases by the dozen please" over ones like that one. I'd much rather sit in on a divorce case, or someone's lawsuit for breach of contract.
Gah. Sorry to rant on your LJ... it just sparked something, I guess.
