The Bookworm's Musings

Well, I've done my civic duty. I just finished serving as a juror on a civil case. Boring, boring, boring. It did have its interesting moments, though. All I can say is: Read the contract all the way through before you sign it, even if you think you already know what it says. Oh yeah, and get your own lawyer before entering into any binding agreements. Never assume anything. Each party involved in a contract or agreement should have their own lawyer, for their own protection. Lawyers aren't like toys, they can't be shared. But even if you do have your own lawyer, it still doesn't absolve you of the responsibility to read that contract before you sign it.
On the positive side, now that I've served, maybe I won't be summoned again for a while.
