Had a scary moment at the end where I thought was going to get picked for the jury.

Many thoughts over the course of the day:

This is an adversarial relationship yet watching everyone involved was professional, clearly able to manage disagreement with civility. I know that’s the profession, that’s their work, but it’s still kind of impressive.

This day also reminded me of the work situation where you’re in a meeting with ten or more people and the meeting is two minutes of content packed into sixty; the cost of that meeting (everyone’s hourly wage) is extraordinary. All of these potential jurors waiting around all day only to find out they hadn’t been picked.

I also had time to closely re-read the Mock Trial Case for 2024.
