Yeah, but there was some talk of pastry and coffee and it isn't that far from my house.

It is, but it's also standard for a federal grand jury.

Sounds like you'll get to make some new friends. After my trial 6 or 7 of the jurors walked out of the courthouse all chattering and seemed like they were best buds and likely headed to a bar. And that was only 9 days or so.

That is the way I'm looking at it. I don't have a good excuse why I can't participate. I hope your trial went okay for you.

BREYER: Actually, Antonin, you got it backwards. See, a power bottom is actually generating all the dissents by doing most of the work.

SCALIA: Stephen, I've heard that speed has something to do with it.

BREYER: Speed has everything to do with it.

Thank you. I was found guilty of having the largest bird penis in Multnomah county.

A cloaca is not mutually exclusive with a dick.

If you had some largely cash based side hustles and wanted to hide the money from a bankruptcy court what would you do with it? Get a safe? Hide it in your house? Safe deposit box? Do bankruptcy courts ever get so fed up with debtors activities that they search their homes or have a PI watch them for a week?

I recently got a summons for federal grand duty that involved meeting up to twice a week for 18 months, with the potential to extend it for a further 6.

When your mom gets sued for dumping her excess water in the neighbor's lawn the phrase you will want to Google is "riparian lawyer near me."

Video games have taught me people keep large amounts of cash and gold on bank safe deposit boxes.

I doubt anyone remembers, but several years ago I asked questions here about getting a lawyer for my sister, for her Social Security Disability application. After applying, denial (7 months wait), filling an appeal, waiting another 15 months, a hearing... Her disability starts in April! Total time about 2 years. (She broke her neck, and is now a partial quad)
Hind sight is I wish we could have started the process when she was living off her GoFundMe. I had no idea it was so slow. A Minnesota disability resource center found us a lawyer that won't take a cut of the checks, too! They even did a practice hearing with her so she wasn't surprised by questions during the administrative appeal.

Congrats for your sister. Yes, the disability process is long and arduous.

Congrats. Sadly, it's reality that most people don't realize how broken our systems are until they need them and you don't need them until you're in a tight spot.

How does jury duty work at a federal level? I'm completely ignorant about this, so forgive me if this is a stupid question. It looks like the 9th circuit is most western part of the US including Alaska and Hawaii. Does that mean if you live in Alaska or Hawaii, you could get called for jury duty in California or Nevada?

It's the district in which you live, not the circuit. Like eastern district of Texas or northern district of California. Alaska has one district, so if you live anywhere in Alaska you can get called to serve. Arizona has one, Virginia has two California has four, and so on.

And beyond that, it’s typically (always?) the division of the district which you live in, which basically corresponds to “nearest federal courthouse.”

Yep; I served on a jury for the Eastern District of Virginia, so I went to the courthouse in Alexandria and the jury pool was basically just people in northern Virginia. One juror was actually dismissed because he lived far enough away that his travel pay was allowed to be a hotel room instead of just mileage, but then the budget for the room ran out (or something to that effect).
