Public Service - Jury Duty

Most of us dred that greeting, "Congratulations you have been selected..."

Yes, it is important but we do not always welcome the interruption in our daily lives. However, we want justice for all and so we serve. Or is it the fear of penalties?

Regardless, I am here at the Palm Beach County Courthouse and learning the process along with the others. So far it has been a good experience... the staff has been friendly and helpful, conversations with others have been interesting, and the coffee shop has great tea.

One group has already been called and the rest of us await the orientation. Other than the disruption to my normal work day and having to adjust my students schedules.

I'll keep you posted on the progess.
