JURY DUTYING.

Got to go down to the courthouse this morning and see if I'm really going to be called for 25 straight days of grand jury service (seems....excessive). Hopefully, posting to resume later in the day, rather than sometime in late January.

Update: Blogging resumes!



COMMENTS

Grand juries are intense; federal grand juries can be empaneled for up to 18 months I believe.

Getting enpaneled on some patent/intellectual property dispute that lasts this long is one of my most deeply-held fears.

Would that mean you'd have to stay off the internet?

Assignment Desk: Olympia Snowe. You know why.

If you just tell them the truth you will not be impanelled. Tell them that you don't believe people should be convicted of a crime without examination of the root causes, and that the finding of a root cause is exculpatory.
