Jury Duty

[Zundfolge]

If you think about jury duty as just "Free Dinner Theater (without the dinner)" its actually not that bad a deal. Especially because when you get jury duty in Colorado you can reschedule/delay your service without question/excuse and if you can plan work around it its much less annoying.

On a side note, we hear lots of people on both sides of the isle carp on about "rights" ... but nobody talks about "responsibilities" ... if you want the "right" of "trial-by-a-jury-of-your-peers" you're going to have to take responsibility and do your duty when called, so you might as well have a positive attitude about it.

This was pretty much my experience in El Paso County too. I enjoyed my week.

Gotta agree. Kudos to the folk that run the jury trial system here in El Paso County. They make it as positive an experience as possible. Truly one of the few examples of an effectively run government department if you ask me.
