Sitting there for about 90 minutes and people watching is always very interesting to me. I try to read the body language, facial expressions and mannerisms of everyone. I digress..
After about 3/4 the room filled up, 2 representatives of the court came to the podium and proceeded to greet us and provide us with some context as to the rest of our day.
Of all the instructions we received the one that stuck in my head was the one about fact that the Judge, during this selection process, will be asking us questions. They pointed out a small 5x5 cardboard square that we could take notes on (really?) and we should only record a "Yes" and the number of the question, so after they have all been read, we could respond to the judge that "we needed to speak to him" to explain of reason for answering "yes".
After all the instructions, and an almost 200 person dash to the bathrooms to prepare for a "long" court selection process, we were all herded to the double doors and proceeded to the 3 story climb up the granite stairs to the courtroom.
Next... Courtroom Impressions ...
