Jury duty in College Station and Blacksburg was a bit more exciting ... only a bit, though. Generally speaking, once the lawyers found out you were a professor during voir dire, they couldn't move fast enough to strike you. Guess they didn't want a bunch of eggheads sitting there wondering about the validity of data, the strength of argument, logic, reason, etc.

Every single prof I knew in both towns who ever got called got sent home almost immediately.
