| | I live in a county with a population of almost 600,000 people.
Four years ago, I took Spanish I at Edison State College. There were 20 people or so in the class. One of my classmates that I got to know a little bit was a man I estimated to be in his late 30s or early 40s. I think I found out then that he was an attorney as well as a Christian, and that he also taught classes at the college.
Soon after that, I was working for Kelly Services, the international temp agency, and for one or two days they placed me at Florida Rural Legal Services to answer the telephone. That same man was working there at the time.
Today I had jury duty at the county courthouse and was eventually rejected after being questioned in the courtroom. The rub? The judge for the particular trial that I was randomly assigned to was the same guy from my class and the agency.
I do not live in a small town, and there are many attorneys here. There is no higher purpose to this post; I just thought it was bizarre.

And is that the reason you were rejected from jury duty? - because the judge knew you from a class?
