It’s 7 am and I am sitting in the Jury Assembly room that looks like it can hold about 500 prospective jurors. There are only about 10 of us so far. I am prepared for hours of sitting around with the Fujitsu P1610 and Verizon EVDO AirCard. I brought the Fuji due to its small size and weight and the ability to use it without attracting a lot of attention. Hopefully this day will not be like my last stint of jury duty but if so you’ll be the first to know.
Observation #1: Monitor at front of room explains service criteria: you are disqualified if you cannot read nor write or you don’t understand English. Written in English, of course.
