At the Supreme Court of the State of New York

You're out of order! You're out of order! The whole trial is out of order! They're out of order!

– Al Pacino, in some movie.

I was called for jury service today. I was recused and did not have to sit through and vote or whatever on the outcome of a trial. They accepted my wholly legitimate excuse that I'm self-employed and thereby would not recover the lost wages from not working while I listened to what I could have just as easily watched on some rerun of Law and Order.
