I'm waiting to get my daughter's permission to open the letter but I
got a letter addressed to her from the Ministry of the Attorney
General which is interesting since she hasn't lived her since 2014.
I.e. not only NOT in province but not in Canada either.

I plan on scanning the letter for her when I eventually open it but
I'm pretty sure she's not coming from Europe to attend a jury summons.

I've been called 3 times in the last 20 years and the first time
excused on compassionate grounds (I ran a family business and my
mother had been killed in an auto-pedestrian crash 3 weeks earlier and
with her passing was running the business on the first one, the second
was a civil jury where the case was settled out of court before trial,
the third I was challenged by the defence lawyer) so I wouldhave been
less surprised if the letter had been for me.

Now that I'm retired, I'd like to get a jury summons. Seems like an
interesting way to spend some time. Of course I could do without all the
extraneous hassle, like parking, sitting in waiting rooms, etc.

You want to sit there? You could never do it. You'd be forced to sit
on your hands as the defense makes an improper motion and as Price sits
there, slack jawed, without making the proper objection. Also, you are
not allowed to ask Maroun on a date during trial.

You'd be held in contempt an hour and a half into the prosecution's
case.
