Juror Qualification Form

I stopped by the mailbox on my way to work and found an interesting piece of mail addressed to me. "Juror Qualification Form Response Required" in big letters above my name caught my attention quickly. I panicked for a short moment, wondering if I was really qualified and why on earth I would be chosen. Then I read the first paragraph of the form: "No special knowledge of skills are needed to be a juror, only your personal experience. The thought of jury service may be a bit unsettling and you may be inconvenienced...". Those were my thoughts & concerns exactly!! I know it's not a big deal, and most American adults have experienced something related to jury duty, but this is the very first time for me. A part of me wants to be selected, just for the experience. I guess I'll find out in November if I will sit on a jury!

(I think I watch too much "Law & Order" and "CSI"...my thoughts are all over the place with this!)
