                           Notes from a courthouse

I left Casa New Jersey about twenty minutes later than I wanted to, but I
still made it to the West Palm Beach County Courthouse [1] on time (well, a
few minutes past 8:00 am, but I think they said 8:00 am to ensure everybody
shows up by the real time of 9:00 am). Traffic was a bit hectic, and the
instructions given had jurors parking about two miles south of the actual
courthouse at the convention center.

From the convention center it was a short bus ride to the courthouse where
all jurors (over 200) checked in and sat around waiting. After an
introductory instructional film (which pegged a few hot buttons of mine, but
more on that when I have time) I was immediately called as a potential juror,
unlike the last time where I got called at the end of the day.

But like last time, I did get called to be an actual juror. After voir dire
we got a lunch break and there is wi-fi at the court house—oops, gotta get
back to court.
