I remain befuddled by Massachusetts requiring non-resident college students to do jury duty. It's absurd.
@Popehat Mostly I'm sad bc I've never served on a jury and really bolloxed up my best shot last year. @ScottGreenfield

@emptywheel@Popehat I would love to sit. But I don't want my kid missing a thermodynamics lecture and lab. -
@ScottGreenfield In same way I told students UM's affirmative action SCOTUS suit worth missing class for, think jury duty is too@Popehat -
@emptywheel@Popehat His classes aren't so easily missed. "Worth" is a relative, subjective decision. Mileage varies.

@emptywheel@Popehat And if he's put on a panel, it could blow a semester. -
@ScottGreenfield But in your experience, can't he get excused just by talking thermodynamics?@Popehat -
@emptywheel@ScottGreenfield I didn't get excused when I told them I was a 2L with strong (and at the time, incorrect) opinions. -
@Popehat And did it change your opinion?@ScottGreenfield -
@emptywheel@ScottGreenfield My opinion was that the state had not met its burden of proof to show that the defendant sold an officer crack. -
@Popehat That was your opinion going in or upon faced with burden of serving?@ScottGreenfield -
@emptywheel@ScottGreenfield My opinion after hearing two days of evidence. (The other opinions didn't change until I began practicing.) -
@Popehat@emptywheel Is this Ken or Patrick. I demand context. - 1 more reply
