Ned Easterwood · 04-29-2009, 06:01 AM

We're FIC - who are you?

Maureen Boccaccio · 04-29-2009, 07:17 AM

There are FICs here?

Ned Easterwood · 04-29-2009, 07:38 AM

I have a FIC decoder ring!

Lily Joliat · 04-29-2009, 08:47 AM

NARCS ALL OF YOU

Ned Easterwood · 04-29-2009, 08:54 AM

I promise not to turn you in.

Maureen Boccaccio · 04-29-2009, 02:51 PM

Is there a secret handshake?

Ned Easterwood · 04-29-2009, 03:02 PM

There's -- shhh - a special hat.

Lily Joliat · 04-29-2009, 03:49 PM

you can leave your hat on

Ned Easterwood · 04-29-2009, 03:57 PM

I think the hat is in Bea's inv.

Lily Joliat · 04-29-2009, 05:12 PM

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Ned Easterwood · 04-29-2009, 06:29 PM

Did Lily escape jury duty?

Lily Joliat · 04-29-2009, 06:56 PM

no they let us go. They settled out of court and we didn't have to serve anymore. Woopeeeeee.

Ned Easterwood · 04-30-2009, 06:39 PM

I have come awfully close but never had to serve.

Maureen Boccaccio · 04-30-2009, 11:19 PM

Why does it seem everyone wants to *not* be on a jury?

Lily Joliat · 04-30-2009, 11:22 PM

all the waiting and waiting and waiting....

Ned Easterwood · 05-01-2009, 05:36 AM

I would gladly have served, but it's just never happened.

Because it's arduous and terrible?

I had my first summons ever in 2007 and I got picked for the panel, which really irked me, but we got a lunch recess and during that time the guy we were trying ended up confessing to the crime and I got out of it, but got treated as if I'd served a full case and not been dismissed, so I got a seven year break instead of one.

Lily Joliat · 05-01-2009, 09:12 AM

i have no problem serving on a criminal jury. The idea of sitting and listening to a civil case makes me bitter and irksome. Apparently in SF there are hundreds of asbestos cases. I almost was on a jury a few years ago with the same premise. Lots of building reconstruction I imagine.

Maureen Boccaccio · 05-01-2009, 03:44 PM

I'm fortunate, since my office
a) pays us if we're on jury duty
b) it's easy to get to the courthouse...and find parking and
c) the daily rate we are paid by the court more than covers lunch and parking.

Lily Joliat · 05-01-2009, 04:33 PM

here its $15 a day, for the second and subsequent days of service. So I got zip.
Only a short bus ride, and a pleasant walk to city hall I can't complain that much. And the coffee in the courthouse was really good.

Ned Easterwood · 05-01-2009, 07:13 PM

Get paid for the first day here, where they invented the "one day or one trial" system. If you aren't picked for a jury, it's see ya later alligator.
