10 things I learned on Jury Duty

1 While there are indeed two sides to every story, sometimes both sides are stupid.

2 if you think your life is crappy take a walk through the halls of Family Court at 111 Hill Street in Los Angeles. Your life is great.

3 Dress for comfort. Someone will always look worse than you. Always.

4 Judges and lawyers earn every dime they make. Mostly because they have to deal each other.

5 No one will confess. No matter how much you want them to.

6 No one will shout "You can't handle the truth ". No matter how much you want them to.

7 "Good" cafeteria meatloaf is still cafeteria meatloaf.

8 The courtrooms are kind of crummy. Those big impressive courts that you see on TV are...well...on TV.

9 The ‪#‎LemonadeLA‬ @MoCA might be the best lunch spot in Downtown LA

10 Law is beautiful and terrible and justice is a funny thing.
