Notice for Jury Duty

Current Mood:
CC is listening to: Leaving--Jim Chappell (Acadia)

My heart skipped a beat yesterday when I got my mail and the return address on one of the letters said, "Office of the Sheriff." My first thought was, "Oh ¢®@*, did I break the law?"

So I opened the letter and it said,

"You are notified that you have been drawn as a juror for the September term, 2007, of the State Court of Shelby County, and are hereby summoned to appear on the 5th Day of September, 2007 at 12:00pm to be qualified as such juror at the Memphis Cook Convention Center."

First reaction: relief. Oh thank God, it's not a ticket :-).

Second reaction: confusion. I'm just a permanent resident. I'm not even allowed to vote, much less be a juror. That would have been cool, though {hums the Law and Order theme}.

So I called the office of the Jury Commissioner to find out if I still need to go. He said I don't need to go, I just needed to fax a copy of my green card over to them, and then I called again to make sure that they got it. Of course, just to be safe, I faxed a copy of the jury duty legal notice as well :-).

The notice'll make a nice souvenir though :-)
