I get called for jury duty!
So, last month I got a note in the mail letting me know that I had to show up to court to serve for jury duty. Now, thankfully, the Washington, DC jury duty system works the same way as that of Massachusetts. You show up for one day, or the length of a trial you get picked for. That meant that this morning, I took the day off work (federal employees get paid full salary while on jury duty), and hopped on the metro to Judiciary Square to go to the H. Carl Moultrie I Courthouse:
This is actually one of the closest brushes I've had with jury duty in several years. I got called for a criminal trial involving a defendant accused of assaulting two corrections officers at the DC jail. I was briefly interviewed by the judge, and then allowed to leave after the lawyers interviewed the other potential juries and made their final decisions. Pretty harmless, but I had to stay all day. Plus, it gave me a chance to catch up on my reading.

I report for DC petit jury duty tomorrow morning. The closest I've ever come to serving was "first alternate," but the case was settled before it went to trial.
Hm. Maybe asking for a civil oath + my background as a national collegiate debate finals judge makes me the kiss of jury death.
We shall see tomorrow morning.
Love your blog, by the way.
