I think it's time for another cutting party....

<< < (2/9) > >>

Sir James A:
I didn't have any particular date in mind for a cutting party, I'm not sure what I have open but figured I'd toss it out there and see who is free when and see if I can shuffle my stuff around accordingly. Looks like Sundays are the best bet? How about July 15th?

I'll cover Sir John's schedule via PM.

Sir Edward:

I think I can do the 15th. The weekend before is NHSC, and the weekend after I'll be in Colorado watching the world burn (not really, we'll be out there for a wedding, but hopefully the fires will be out by then).

Sir William:

I'll admit, I was of the same mind- initially, at least.  Condolences.  So many of my contemporaries seem to have a number of different reasons as to why they shouldn't have to do jury duty, or simply don't want to- but it is an important civic duty and while I have been called before, I never got past the waiting room.  Its funny that I have allowed so many points of view to influence mine own, without me really knowing what it was that I didn't want to do.  I salute the members of this Order for helping me to realize that I need not view the world through my usual cynical bent...that people deserve their fair shake whether or not I agree with their actions, or the consequences that follow.  I thank you fine gentlemen- you may not know it, but my acquaintanceship and later membership in this fine Order has made me want to be a better man, a better fellow human, a better knight, and strive to be so.

So, now I'm both excited and apprehensive at the prospect, as well as dedicated to providing as impartial a view as I possibly can.  You know me, that's going to be the hardest part.  Keep you all posted.  ;)

Sir Edward:
Excellent! Let us know how it turns out.

The last time I got tapped for jury duty, I was somewhat disappointed I didn't get to go to trial. Relieved, but disappointed. As you said, it's an important civic duty, and we have to remember that the right to a trial by a jury of your peers is one of the cornerstones of our justice system. How can we expect to have rights if we don't take the time to support them for others? It's an honor to participate.

SirNathanQ:
Nothing on my schedule for the 15th, save a church service at 10:30. Counting about and hour and a half for driving, I should be able to make it there around 12-ish.

As someone hoping to practice law someday, I thank you gentlemen very much for your support of our legal system.  :) I hate it when people take a natural aversion to their civic duty or the justice system in general.
