o all who shall see these presents, GREETINGS

Arlene got a special treat today: a jury summons. The questionnaire asks all sorts of interesting things (have you ever had a bodily injury claim filed against you? who’s your lawyer? are you friends with any law enforcement officers?). My favorite was the exemption checklist; apparently in Wood County you can be exempted if you’re in poor health (but only if you’re also over 70) or if you’re a cloistered member of a religious organization. Since she doesn’t qualify, we’ll wait to see if she gets the “yellow card” that notifies her that she’s been selected for an actual trial.
