Patiodog and Setana...nice routine..
Babs let me clarify; I have been called several times,, I just miss the cut usually. I have been called a few times in the last four years, but I am hampered by paralysis, and living in a building with no elevator. This will probably be overcome someday
...As for that professional juror thing; I did sit through one trial as an alternate, and it wasn't like "Law 'N Order". Every questioning, cross-examination, and summation, took an hour or two. We all fought to stay awoke, and we were interested! In other words, I would certainly have my curiosity, and sense of civic duty, fulfilled after one trial.
