Jury Duty

[Jagdaddy]

I just got summoned for Federal Jury Duty, I was supposed to report this coming Monday, but got an email last night that its been rescheduled for July 13 - curious to see what happens

Interesting! I've never been summoned for federal jury duty, although I clerked for a federal magistrate judge for a year after law school. I'm regularly summoned for state jury duty, but I've only been selected once and that case got dismissed after facts came out that made the plaintiff legally unable to win (in Colorado you're not liable if someone slips on the sidewalk in front of your place, even though you're supposed to shovel it if it snows, because it's public right of way, but you are if they slip on your driveway, and the plaintiff testified that he slipped on the sidewalk). I was once next in line to be questioned further for jury selection when the last alternate was selected from a pool of over 100 people for a case in which one neo-nazi type stabbed another neo-nazi type to death, allegedly in self-defense. That would surely have been interesting.
