If you're ever on a jury . . .

I just spent most of the past month participating a couple of jury trials. I can't really go into the details. The fascinating thing about it was that, after both trials, the jurors consented to come back into the courtroom to talk to the attorneys about the case (several attorneys were involved). They had questions about evidence that wasn't admitted, and let us know what was important to them. The members of both juries obviously took their responsibilities very seriously. I think that is why they were willing to talk with counsel afterword. We learned a great deal from their feedback, and I think they learned plenty from the process.

So if you are ever called to jury duty and are asked to talk to the attorneys afterword, consider saying yes. It will help resolve questions that you have and provide tremendous insight to the practitioners.
