Man, I love being on Jury Duty. I was initially heading toward a law degree, but now that's the closest I can get. I've been called twice and only got on a jury once, but I loved every minute of it. I've never written a courtroom scene, but I have all the details memorized now, just in case! Yeah, I loved mine. I even dressed in such a way as to increase my chances of getting picked. I wore a yellow shirt with pressed green slacks. I figured, if I wore something like blue slacks and a white shirt, that's too conservative, and I'd never get on. Dress a little liberal, but still have the short haircut that could be a conservative, and neither one will know for sure. Tailored my answers to get in, too. Don't tip your hand either way. Can't be too sympathetic to either side so that they both think they can convince you. They tried to make me jury foreman, but I didn't want the job. Worked out well. I thought we were fair. We could be brothers! I was honest, but carefully neutral in my answers so I wouldn't get booted off. I was initially asked by the group to be foreman too, but I declined, because I thought it would be more fun to sit back and observe rather than try to manage things. I wish I lived in a state (I think Arizona is one) where you could volunteer to be a jury member. |
