Want to know what is a perfect occupation for a rainy Monday? Go to the Brooklyn Court Building on Adams Street and report for jury duty. I bet my daughter would disagree since she is there right now, probably going crazy. She brought her Faulkner book along, but honestly, she is probably bored out of her mind just about now. I, on the other hand, think this is all very exciting. Someone wants my young'un to help decide a case? I wish I were a fly on the wall!
I will keep you posted.
12:45 Pm Update
Well, College daughter is on her way home already. Turns out they want her. She was picked for a civil case within five minutes of entering the court house. The case has something to do with an accident and back pain. The usual frivolous lawsuit of course. The lawyers and the judge asked her if she could be impartial if the plaintiff could not speak English and needed an interpreter. Dutifully, she told them that she would have no problem since her mother was a first generation immigrant. How terribly exciting!
