It's considered a "financial hardship" for anything longer than a week for me. I've never had to actually sit for that reason. Three weeks would clean out a chunk of savings, and that sucks. I'm fortunate. My work will pay my salary up to 30 says. After that it would be my own PTO And I get 15 bucks a day from the court lol 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brayon Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Back later. This is going to be a good game. Two top teams in the league squaring off. Also, it's Jon Copper's 6th anniversary as Head Coach of the Lightning. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do your civic duty, but don't profit ! 9 minutes ago, Starrynight22 said: I imagine prosecution will fall over themselves to use their power to dismiss me I thought the same of the defense but it was actually prosecution that dismissed me. We started with the "Does anyone have reason they should not serve" stuff, and I raised my hand, saying I did child care and was particularly protective of the children after we had a father break his daughters collar bone. Judge asked me if I felt I would side with the (14 yr old) accuser because of my experience. No sir, but I figured the defense would not want me. Can you tell when a boy is lying to get his own way? Ususally yes sir. Good, you will do, sit back down. Okaaaaay. Five minutes later the prosecution excused me with one of their preemptory challanges. The ones they don't need to give a reason for. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikiesboy Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 Have a good day. decoct verb | dih-KAHKT Definition 1 : to extract the flavor of by boiling 2 : boil down, concentrate Decoct boils down to a simple Latin origin: the word decoquere, from de-, meaning "down" or "away," and coquere, meaning "to cook" or "to ripen." Decoct itself is somewhat rare. Its related noun decoction, which refers to either an extract obtained by decocting or the act or process of decocting, is slightly more common but still much less recognizable than some other members of the coquere family, among gastronomical words like biscuit, biscotti, cook, and kitchen. Other coquere descendants include concoct ("to prepare by combining raw materials" or "to devise or fabricate"), concoction ("something concocted"), and precocious ("exceptionally early in development or occurrence" or "exhibiting mature qualities at an unusually early age"). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorn Wilde Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Hey everyone. Once again, I dropped off the Internet yesterday, lol! It's been a weird few days. Realised last night it's probably cause I'm coming down off my hypomania. So I'm just tired and I haven't felt like talking to people much. Oh, well. Hope you all have a good Tuesday! 15 hours ago, MacGreg said: I'm curious. What is it like? Well, our entire legal system is completely different in general. Like, vastly different. I'm not a legal expert, so I couldn't begin to explain in how many ways, lol! I used to know more, my ex was a law student, but I've forgotten most of this stuff. But we don't have juries anymore at all, they were phased out a couple of years ago. Instead, we have lay judges that preside over a case together with professional ones. As I understand it, you sign up and are selected by the local council for a period of four years, and for each case they draw names from the panels of selected lay judges. There's some information in English here and here. Back when we had juries, I believe it was much the same. Like I said, not an expert. I've been in a court room like once, when a friend had been attacked on the metro. I was there with a few others as moral support. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
