I went down to JP Court on the beach in Galveston County this morning, not really expecting to have to try a case. So of course there were 24 potential jurors waiting in the courtroom when I strolled in (I was 20 minutes late because I didn't factor the ferry ride into my travel time), and my client's was the only case on the docket.
It took 35 minutes to pick a jury of six and try the case, and about three more minutes to get a verdict. That was the shortest jury trial I've had, and probably the shortest I will ever have.

3 Minutes? Jennifer must have been jealous.
Long ride for 1 case.
Ferry? There's a JP on Bolivar?
Win, lose?
SHG -- Jennifer may be jealous; don't tell Terri about the 3 minutes, or she might be envious.
Ron -- Crystal Beach, which Dad claims has a gay nude beach. I wouldn't know.
Matlock -- won. Duh.
Mark, you must have missed that day in law school when privileged communications were explained.
