Love Letters from a Juror

By Anne Skove, Esq.

Why do Franklin County (Ohio) Municipal Court jurors love jury service? Here's a letter from one such juror to the jury commissioner Tom Shields --

• Hi, Tom.

  I wanted to say thank you for being so flexible. I was originally requested to appear for jury service March 22-April 2. Because of a conflict, I called to reschedule. Debbie was very helpful, although I was having a difficult time finding two weeks that would work for me due to job obligations. Debbie worked with me and reduced my time to one week, which was May 3-7.

  From my point of view, the beta test you are doing is a success! I appreciated having the flexibility to come in later (although I didn't), and the fact that you were upfront and understanding about the parking and construction issues helped ease my mind. It was also interesting to be able to observe courtrooms and listen to Judge Sheward. Thanks also for the computer area-I was able to get some work done throughout the week. The entire experience far exceeded my expectations.

  Thanks again-
