I go to jury duty. I'm thinking, they're not going to pick me. Like, why would they pick me? Goes to the first day and they ask me all these questions. They're like, no, juror number 11, sit back down. You need to stay. I'm like, stay?

okay.

okay.

okay.

And then I'm like, okay. And then I'm like on the phone crying to my girlfriend and they're like, juror number 11, you've been selected for the jury. Oh my God. It was a five day trial. No, I was there every day from eight o'clock to three o'clock. No, like a little break at lunch with all my fellow jurors.

And we went on the last day into deliberations to decide whether or not this woman was guilty of this crime. And They said, well, we have to pick a foreman for the jury. And literally all of them turned and pointed at me and said, you're going to be the foreman. And I said, me? Why am I going to be the foreman? They said, because you're a lawyer.

If you could call for jury duty, you better show up. Because if any one of us is on trial, you want nice, thoughtful people in those juries? Yes, that's right. Because people did not understand the law. And I only knew enough about the law for being Elle Woods that I was like, no, no, no. You don't get to say guilty or innocent. You have to say if the lawyer proved it or not.
