I just hope that somehow medical records are involved in whatever trial I end up in.
My sister used "I don't think I could ever send anyone to jail" once pretty effectively.

The Frequently Asked Questions section of the Harris County District Clerk's Office does not answer the important "what do I do if I lost the form summoning me to jury duty" question.
ETA: never mind, I figured it out. I've actually managed to move out of state every time anyone's ever tried to summon me, so all of my courtroom experience is limited to the other side of the bar.
