Jury Duty 6
9:50am: The judge came in and talked a bit about the logistics. The judge is a fairly avuncular guy, probably mid-sixties, and his demeanor makes me believe he has a decent sense of humor. Anyway, for my group, jury selection today will be for a case of his that will begin in early January. The trial is expected to last 10 (business) days, at which point jury deliberation will begin. He expects there to be no more than about three days of deliberation. He told people who thought that the schedule would be a hardship to come get a "green form," fill it out, and then get in line, and he would talk to each person individually. Everyone else will fill out some other questionnaire, hand it in, and our service will be over for the day. We will have to show up tomorrow at 9am for further jury selection, and possibly one or two more days after that. I don't think I can legitimately claim hardship, so I guess I'll be showing up tomorrow.
