With a Little Help from Our Friends

By Anne Skove, Esq.

Two seemingly unrelated links were sent to us by our friends this week.

The better half of Court-o-Rama's worse half alerted us to the fact that more potential jurors are claiming financial hardship. Over 24% were dismissed in L.A. last year due to that reason. California pays nothing the first day and a mere $15 thereafter.

And, there are more disgruntled jurors. See Weighed Down by Recession Woes, Jurors Are Becoming Disgruntled, Carol J. Williams, L.A. Times (February 15, 2010). Cheers and best o' luck to Gloria Gomez, jury czarina for the L.A. Superior Court.

Meanwhile, Jimmy Mac sent us this fabulous idea, adaptable to courts, court services, justice centers, etc., everywhere.
