Petit juror, Circuit Court. I am on call for a week. I phone in the previous business day to see if I need to show up or not. I have no idea what cases will be heard.

I guess I get a parking spot (but the location is on a bus route). Do I bring food? Should I bring a pad of paper, or will that be confiscated? I know not to bring a pocket knife or police scanner. Those are taken, but cell phones are not. I'll have a book to read.

If I find the prosecution acting egregiously, is nullification in order? Yeah, I'm not expecting that would be a necessity, but....

Thanks.
