If you don’t see any posts for the next few days, I am probably sitting in a jury box in the Clark County Regional Justice Center. Yes, it’s my turn to do my civic duty–I need to call tonight to see if I report tomorrow.
I think they should just have us spin a wheel or shoot dice to see if we get selected. If you’re curious, here are some interesting details about Sin City jury duty I’ve gleaned from the friendly summons that arrived in my mailbox a while ago:
Proper clothing must be worn, and it doesn’t include shorts, haltertops, muscle shirts, hats, or jogging suits. Huh.
You can buy drinks and snacks at the snack bar, but you can’t take them into court.
You can bring a book, magazine, or pesonal work, but not a local newspaper.
After the second day, you get $40 a day. You only get mileage reimbursed if you live more than 65 miles from the Regional Justice Center.
I know–it sounds like such fun, you envy me already.
