Received a letter today from the judge on my recent trial, thanking me for my service and such. I'm happy and gratified to have the opportunity to participate in a civic duty, despite the inconvenience with work and all. But it's still nice to hear from the court that it's appreciated.
Yeah, I'm sure it's more or less a form letter, but it's still a nice touch and one I haven't seen before in two previous trials and several other times I had to take a day off and show up at the courthouse. Your Honor, very nicely done, sir.

Posted by: Kate P at May 14, 2008 06:42 AMHeheheheheh, mine is in my "Forms" folder under "juror_thank". Download all their addresses, hit "merge," and VOILA! One hundred plus "personal" thank-you letters!
I'm only half-way joshing. His Honor does sign them all by hand. (We mail them out at the end of the term, that's why there are so many.)
And each juror gets a coffee cup with "Compliments of Judge *******" and the Great Seal of Arkansas on it when they serve! Woo Hoo!

No, not Ed Rendell. Mitch Daniels.
