now that my jury duty is over and i can legally talk about my jury duty, a short list of things that i have learned about jury duty:
when the judge wants to sidebar with the lawyers they turn on a static noise machine for the jury. this is very like the experience of being trapped inside a television
sometimes they load the entire court -- judge, lawyers, court reporters, jury, etc. -- onto a bus and take you all on a little field trip to see a crime scene. this is very like the experience of being in elementary school
when you are on a jury field trip you May Not share a seat, you May Not speak, and you May Not look at anything you have not been officially told you can look at. this is very like the experience of being trapped inside a point-and-click adventure except that instead of being limited in your investigation by the constraints of the game mechanics, you are instead limited in your investigation by the court officers herding you around like ducks with their long wooden Official Court Staffs
no matter how much an FBI agent may encourage the court to call him kevin, the court will not call him kevin

That's not Halsin's blood-- fighting in wildshape can get messy
Clover is very catlike and hides physical injuries because it means vulnerability
But after some time I think he was also afraid of being seen as a liability and getting left behind.

In light of increasing anti-trans and anti-abortion laws in the United States, I am once again humbly requesting you inform yourself about jury nullification, your ability as a juror to vote against convicting people being prosecuted under unjust laws. Nullification was instrumental in legalizing abortion in Canada - it informed jurors can use it to help protect healthcare workers and protesters in the US, too.

The problem with both of my parents, one of my siblings, and many of my friends being lawyers is that we do a lot of shop talk, often while chatting on the phone. And so it feels very natural to end a phone call with, "I think I'll file a motion on it. Okay. Before close of businesses today. Have a great day. Love you, bye."
Which is not the correct way to end a phone call with opposing counsel
