I just had my first experience with jury duty. The closest I have come before was being subpoenaed (had a hard time finding out how to spell that one) and then told that I didn't have to show up. Today it was for the Summary Court, which, I found out this morning, used to be known as Magistrate Court.
Along with about 100 of Greenville County's finest citizens, I went to court at 8:30a.m. and sat for the next 3 hours or so. The judge and the attorneys went through the court docket for the week and then selected jurors for each and every one of the cases. Finally, I won some sort of lottery...... I got picked by the wonderful attorneys for every day this week. Friday is iffy, but the rest are fixed..... oooppss... didn't mean to say "fixed" when talking about court.... I meant I have to show up.
Hoping to have some interesting cases.

Lucky you- I think you did win the lottery- you'll probably get at least 12 dollars a day for sitting there! haha
Man I wish my court case was coming up next week instead of this week.
