  1. Huge relief is hearing today that I'm permanently excused from #jury service on medical grounds. I had an unexpected call last week to serve on a jury, but with a #progressive #neuro disease leaving me largely #bedbound and #sleeping up to 18 hours per day I was totally unfit for this. Being in #Scotland I needed a medical letter/certificate from my #GP supporting this. All sorted now, and confirmed today by the #Forfar #court. Thanks so much. Big relief. #juryDuty #juryService #Law #Courts #NHS

  2. Balls. Another call for jury service. I got excused last time (and they are much tougher about excusals in Scotland than in England). #JuryService

  3. Oh it's time to share some background for the "Jen's improbable number of coincidental family jury calls" story, so that you all understand why I'm very interested in my mailbox right now...

    In Oct 2016 my brother was called. He wasn't eligible as he was in college, but when we discussed it, I talked about how I thought I was still ineligible to be called because I had been called a few years previous and the exclusion was 7 years. I was wrong about that.
