Hi,
Well, I kinda thought being an expat that I could live under the radar but NO.
Today it is official - me living in the US of A.
Not a ceremony, no flag waving... Jury Duty!

Congratulations. It must feel really welcoming to be a part of the justice system in your new country. Will it interfere with your work/pay, or does your employer give paid leave for jury duty? Or, maybe you are self-employed?

Most everyone tends to bemoan jury duty, only to find it an interesting experience. I've served many times and always have found it to be positive.

I'll do your jury duty if you would rather pass. It is interesting and intelectually stimulating most of the time. BTW, welcome to the states, mate.

Great news fellow countryman.
I enjoyed serving on a jury and thought of it as a patriotic duty. In the USA it is the jury not the Judge who decides the case. Do not let your jury be a rubber stamp. Judge the facts of the case AND the merit of the law. If need be exercize the right of jury nullification. The jury not the judge decides.
