Duties

 

It was a little chilly, getting up half an hour early to get to the Daley Center in time for jury duty, but I am happy to participate in the civic life of our community. The right to be tried by a jury of one’s peers is a precious one, and a right afforded to too few people the world over, and throughout human history. Our justice system may be in dire need of reform in a myriad of ways, and I am sure juries are not perfect — but they are better than what we had before. Slowly, slowly we progress. Glad to do my small bit as part of the process.

  1. I have been call three times and have served on a jury once. I agree with your comments about it. I think Delaware does not call anyone over the age of 70, so I likely will not serve again.

    I hope it goes well and is a positive experience as it was for me.
