Things will be slower (than usual) around here…

Not that I usually am burning up the weblogging wires around here this time of a year, but as an FYI, I’m going to be a bit slow blogging for the next couple of weeks. I’ve been selected as a juror in a trial, and the expectation is that it’s going to be going for a while. I can’t say anything about the trial until it’s over, but it’s definitely been an interesting experience so far. On the one hand, it’s a super-inconvenient time both with the holidays and with our work to get an updated LINQ prototype out there in the near future, but on the other hand, it’s a civic duty that I strongly believe in, so it’s hard to grumble. Anyway, it’s going to be quiet for a while…

    A few years ago, I spent 12 months on a Federal grand jury for the Northern District of California (one day per week.) It was an interesting experience but did exact a toll on my work schedule.

    A Northern District judge was instrumental in my obtaining a very large civil (business-related) settlement several years earlier, so I felt I owed them some time — even if on the criminal side.

    I found most of the observations by the author of "The Not-So-Grand Jury" (available from Amazon) about serving in Manhattan to apply to the Oakland branch as well.

    Good luck,
