Canton Square


Today I had lunch with some of my new jury duty friends at RJ Barrel's. It's a restaurant right on the old Canton Square. Canton is actually a place worth visiting. The city has a real old town square that is often used for filming movies and whatnot. Unfortunately, I didn't have a lot of time to walk around and take photos as we had to get back to the courthouse, but hopefully I can tomorrow.

Today we heard opening arguments and part of the plaintiff's case. I hope we'll be able to wrap things up tomorrow. It's definitely not like on TV. It's rather boring at times and the attorneys are not as eloquent.

I take it you got chosen after all?

What a disappointment that must have been! But then TV lawyers have the advantage of having real writers write their speeches. :)

I get absorbed by certain characters on shows and am always disappointed when I see interviews with the actors who play them and realize that they're nothing like the characters they represent. Nowhere near as smart or intelligent. Bugger!
