Real question on recording chat: Do the restrictions apply to areas without an expectation of privacy (i.e. not a phone call)? One concern I have with getting a dash cam is, for example, leaving it recording something at a mechanic or something when I'm not present (nominally on accident, but on purpose as well). Follow-up would be whether there is a difference between video and audio (some dash cams record audio as well). I'm in NC US, but I'm also curious if this varies by state.

It's called an inheritance pact and can only be changed by a judge once it's made (for a very limited number of reasons), or the inheritors (beneficiaries of an inheritance pact) consent or are dead. It has a bunch of limitations, and it can't overrule the right to undivided estate between spouses, unless that has been expressly waived or prenup'd away. It's also impossible to change a mutual will in an undivided estate after the death of the first deceased spouse. Oh yeah and you have to be norwegian, does that matter?

And they lose some rigidity so the handling is a bit poorer. They also tend be heat sinks in the summer and let out all of the heat in winter. They look cool but they basically make the car worse by a lot of metrics. Also the contract for owning a t-top Camaro has a legal requirement of growing your hair into a mullet or growing a rat tail. And some people are bald. So non t-top Camaros exist.

I've got jury duty!? At least I might be in the pool this Thursday. I won't know till I call in again tomorrow. Brief googling says bring a paperback since I can't have a phone and wear business casual. Yes/no on that and any other pro tips? Only other question, I'm fine with doing this for a few days. Civic duty and all that. I could survive a week. 2 would start to suck a lot. More would ruin me. Can claiming it would cause a financial hardship be time dependant?

Wear comfortable clothing since you’ll probably just sit/stand around for most of it. I’ve never seen a court not let jury members have phones but that is probably court dependent, so it’s a good idea to bring an alternative something to do Just show up, don’t be a jackass, answer questions truthfully (because you are not smarter than the attorneys or judges), and roll with the punches. The chances of you being on a jury trial that actually goes to trial, let alone lasts more than a few days at most, are pretty small And eat breakfast because who the gently caress knows about lunch during these things

If you rant like a crazy person during voir dire and say that you don’t and can never trust the court system or the cops and think all personal injury claimants are faking and all lawyers are liars they will dismiss you for sure. There’s also a chance this strategy will land you in jail for contempt for the night so it’s only for the true gamblers out there.

In voir dire: DA: Is there anyone who thinks for some reason they wouldn't be a good juror? Other juror: Yeah, I just don't really care... Judge: You don't care?  OJ: I just don't think I could make a good decision, it's not my business, so I don't think I care enough. Judge: Why wouldn't you care? This is serious business. After lunch, I was dismissed. They were not. A book isn't a bad idea. I spent most of my day in voir dire, so I didn't get much out of my kindle.

Re jury duty: how lenient are courts typically with stay-at-home parents? I was very confused when my brother couldn't (or maybe didn't try to) get a dismissal or postponement of a 2-week jury duty stint. He's a SAHD for a set of twins, so he was scrambling to organize care (wife is a teacher and it was holidays, so the 1st week was covered at least), but I can't imagine he's the only person to encounter this. Everyone got dismissed the 2nd day or something so it ended up being moot, but shouldn't he have had a clear case to be postponed or even dismissed without even having to show up on day 1?

Its fact and judge specific as related to whatever exemptions are allowed where you live. The judge probably thought he could get someone to watch his kids. Jury duty is a burden in some form on like 90% of the people that have to do it

That's interesting. I understand that most people are burdened by jury duty, but I would figure being a stay-at-home parent is pretty high on the list of valid reasons to be excused. Kind of a follow-up, what do most people cite as the reason they can't serve (successful or not, interested in both actual reasons and for purposes of schadenfreude for those who thought they could BS their way out of it)?

Most people don't actually try that hard to get out of Jury Duty. Good Judges start the panel by explaining that they know its a huge burden, but the system needs jurors to work, and that everyone in the room is missing work, travel, etc. etc. In Texas we have a specific exemption for a juror who's the primary caregiver for children under 12, when the parent doesn't have access to adequate supervision

In my experience we might send prospective jurors down the hall to another courtroom if a trial of a different length is starting. So we facilitate someone with child care issues to sit on a dui jury, but maybe skip out on the 5 week double homicide. We had a night shift worker fall asleep during jury selection once. He was gung-ho and we were going to leave him on, but after the third day of him sleeping the judge excused him. I also had a judge once refuse to excuse a guy who brought his three month old infant to court. So we had a screaming baby in the box, clearly needing a diaper change. The judge just shrugged and said "if I allowed that as an excuse then everyone would do it to get out." That judge was a dick though, so ymmv. My favorite line is "you are citizens, not subjects. This is the most direct participation in your democracy you will ever have, and is a responsibility of every citizen."

I got picked and even got into the court room to hear about the case and thought it'd be interesting. They picked like 30 ppl and asked some basic general disqualification questions to the people there. Like are you related to either party or attorney, do you have any spesific reason why you feel you can't be fair in this kind of case. Then they said okay this is the group have a nice day other jurors..

Usually an actual exemption, if you can’t do that ahead of time. For cause strikes depend a lot on the case and the person. Truthfully or not I suspect a lot of people probably state that they can’t agree with some requirement of the case. In criminal for example, they’ll ask you about how you view cop testimony, whether you think people at trial are likely to be guilty because they’re at trial, can you fairly evaluate a he-said-she-said case, etc. in civil they’ll ask if you can be impartial to certain parties (like do you hate insurance companies or debt collectors or whoever). In both they’ll ask if you can abide by the standard of the case, ie beyond reasonable doubt, clear and convincing or whatever Some people will, truthful or not, say they can’t be impartial/agree with some aspect. But when pushed most people will say they can be fair, bc most people don’t want others, even strangers they’ll never see again, to think they’re unreasonable. Or the judge will threaten the panel at the beginning. tater_salad posted:Yep. I got picked and even got into the court room to hear about the case and thought it'd be interesting.

A lot of attorneys will say that picking a jury is their favorite part of trial because we all think we’re the smartest person in the room and playing armchair psychologists just feeds into our narcissism

I was called for jury duty and the case was about child molestation charges years after the abuse would have happened, the guy with the biggest brain said he required physical evidence in order to be convinced. He was removed. I made it through everything and was literally next in line to be selected when they had thier 12 people for the jury, thank god. Other than a couple forms I was never asked anything though there were a few "raise your hand if you believe that children can lie" kind of questions posed to everyone.
