Hah - just realized there’s another medical reason I might want to avoid serving: there are times when I need a bathroom break. Like, immediately. Should I use that to get out of serving? Well, it “depends”. I don’t actually have a doctor’s note, but I see my gastro before my date, so I might ask him. I’d really like to be able to serve, dammit.

Has anyone ever been involved in a case where the jury was sequestered? Seems like that’s a tool used more for dramatic (or comedic) purposes on TV, than in real life, but I have no clue.
