This past week I was caught up in performing my civic duty. Yes, a resident of Baltimore City is seemes that I called for jury duty every year. Despite the "hurry-up-and-wait" pace of the proceedings and graphic nature of the trial itself, this blogger must admit that the experience was a profound one. Forgive the cliche, but is an amazing system that invites 12 strangers to deliberate the fate of another. It was an adventure, which this weary student, hopes only comes along once-in-a lifetime.
