Starting Day-3 of #JuryDuty

Seems like Key Tower is getting bigger every day huh?

And yes of course I’m wearing my court identification badge.

These badges are specific to all assigned and possible jurors to alert others to NOT discuss cases. As you may know, part of this judicial process is to keep cases confined to the courtroom – basically until the jury can meet and deliberate.

And no, I can’t tell you what case I’ve been assigned to or details about it. A few judges answered questions about jury duty, but Judge Brendan J. Sheehan took the time to explain in detail, about specific actions as jurors.

Not going to lie, I do enjoy hearing the phrase “All rise for the jury!”

However, the color of the chairs are a bit…dated.

Green and wood – the perfect combo!

Yikes.

Also, the place is covered in wall-to-wall…wood. #SoMuchWood

No smoking indeed.

During lunch today, I walked around the old courthouse. There is some serious architecture action going on here! Years of yellowing (mostly tobacco) has been cleaned/removed and now the freshly refurbished bright white stone architecture shines beautifully for all to see. Darren Toms told me that they filmed a whole bunch of hit movies here including the latest Avengers movie.

They definitely don’t make them like they used to. Heck-just walking up the stairs, you get a chance to see some amazing stained glass work.

Loki’s been here too!

So much history in just in downtown Cleveland and Cuyahoga County. This jury duty assignment has given me the chance to see some great stuff. Best part – all free!

So if you haven’t been down to the old County Courthouse, you should spend a few hours wandering the halls. Jury duty lunch is the perfect time to wander. Also, bring a camera because it is truly a spectacular building.

We are being called back into court so shhhhhhhhhhh!
