(No, not voting (that's my civic duty according to Brookline Town Clerk Pat Ward), jury duty.)
A couple of months ago, not long before![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
mabfan and I moved, I got a summons in the mail to appear for Jury Duty. Brookline is this tiny little offshoot of Norfolk County, and therefore I was originally scheduled to serve in the Dedham courthouse. I asked for (and received) a change of venue to Quincy, as it is also in Norfolk County and is T accessible (which the Dedham courthouse is not).
So yesterday morning I set out at 7:00 AM-ish to wend my way to the courthouse in Quincy (a five-minute walk from the Quincy Center T stop). I arrived around 8:15 (for an 8:30 AM appearance time) and made my way upstairs to the second-floor jury room.( The Adventure of Nomi, Juror #11 )
I collected my stuff and headed back out to the T, comfortable in the thought that I had, with very little actual effort on my part, helped the justice system in the Commonwealth.
