Well another quarter has come and gone! When we started together it was nice and warm, and now there is no doubt winter is here! I have enjoyed getting to know all of you and hearing your opinions in class! I wish all of you blessings and success in the future, and hope that you stay in touch.
So for our last blog post, I would like to get your thoughts and feedback on the class. "What did you like or dislike about the class? What could I do to make it better?" Answers are due no later than Wednesday, December 14th 2016. After that, the blog will be down until class resumes next quarter. I wish all of you a merry and bright holiday season!!

We the Jury - Part II
As I mentioned in class a few weeks ago, I received a jury summons last month. Now most people hate when they get the dreaded jury summons in the mail, but I am one of the few people who LOVE jury duty. Doing my civic duty, participating in our judicial process and getting a “free” day off of work, what could be better than that? If I could, I would give up both of my jobs and become a professional juror. Yes, I know, I am a weird political nerd!
Last time I served on a jury was several years ago. I seemed to be the only one on the jury that was excited to be there. Everyone else complained, whined and used every excuse in the book to try and get out of serving, and yes, they all thought I was a weird political nerd too.
I'm sad to say I wasn't called that week, but it got me thinking about why Americans are so apathetic when it comes to jury service. So my question to you this week is, “Why do you think most Americans don’t want to participate in jury duty? Be honest – would you try and get out of it if you were called? Why or why not?” Answers are due no later than Wednesday, December 7th, 2016.
