Had jury duty yesterday.
First, I was assigned to civil court on Sutphin Boulevard instead of criminal on Queens Boulevard. The facilities are nicer, the neighborhood has more useful lunch options, and the process is more pleasant overall.
Second, they called 3 panels by 2pm, leaving about 40-50 remaining potential jurors including me, enough for at most one more panel. But at 2:50pm the staffer announced there would be no more trials starting on the day so we were all dismissed with full credit for service.
Best and easiest jury service ever. I also watched more hours of The Game Show Network yesterday than in the rest of my life combined.
