The Duty Civic

January 9th, 2006 by Mike

Survived Day One of jury duty at Cleveland’s downtown Justice Center (which, to my hopelessly geeky mind, sounds like I’ve been hanging out with the Superfriends all day). Nothing terribly exciting so far, though most of the process (not including an actual trial, deliberations, verdict, etc.) is now thoroughly demystified. Got a modest amount of reading done, about 120 pages of Neal Stephenson’s Quicksilver; it’s a great book, but it’s fairly dense, and hard to focus on when you’re constantly listening for your name to be called over the PA.

Further ruminations later; for now, sleep!

    I look forward to hearing your impression of your week of civic duty. I found it to be a fascinating process, if a little hair-raising once I was selected for a trial.
