My initial feelings of dread were somewhat put to rest when I opened the letter from the Palais de Justice this morning. I've been requested by my local Sheriff's Office to perform my civic duty and take part in a Jury.
I didn't even know Montreal had a Sheriff's Office. I thought Sheriffs only existed in New England towns where Angela Landsbury keeps turning up while on vacation. Makes me wonder if Tom Bosley is shaking things up with our local boys in blue.
I don't anyone who has ever taken part in a jury, but I do know I should probably bring a book or something else to keep me busy while I wait to enter the courtroom. From what I've heard, there's alot of waiting involved.
I could probably get out of this, but I'm curious about the experience. Any advice to offer?
