If he doesn't, I'm calling my brother who works for ICE. (Kidding on that last part.)<BR/><BR/>Hannah - To the best of my knowledge, Boston isn't even like Boston Legal. One of my best friends is an attorney and was so busy this past winter he wasn't even able to pull himself away for a hockey game. On a Friday night! Of course, he could have been in the file room the whole time, but I'm pretty sure his wife would kill him if this were the case.FoggyDewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07934197854661226301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5971732155966620724.post-33903909938037743952009-03-24T13:30:00.000-04:002009-03-24T13:30:00.000-04:00You mean trials aren't exactly like "Boston Legal"...You mean trials aren't exactly like "Boston Legal", with all the smug, rapscallion lawyers badgering people on the stand, solving the case within an hour and then congratulating themselves on a roof with martinis?

That is if you get the chance to give that answer.

There were four today who played that card. <BR/><BR/>LiLu - Letsee, ummmm, how 'bout "no" on the whole camera thing. They don't even let you bring your cell into the courthouse. As for the sketches, well, believe it or not, they don't allow you to take notes either in most cases. How 'bout I draw a picture with words? Would that work?<BR/><BR/>Shannon - I remember that, didn't the case have something to do with a botched circumcision?FoggyDewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07934197854661226301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5971732155966620724.post-90100158031160327392009-03-23T13:16:00.000-04:002009-03-23T13:16:00.000-04:00The one time I've had jury duty in DC, I wasn't pl...The one time I've had jury duty in DC, I wasn't placed on either trial.
