Announcements

I've dropped out of juries because I had no idea what the issue was, and struggled with others, trying to figure it out th best I can. I feel that if I'm not learning, I'm dying a little, and it's not east to look into someone's heart who has experiences which are inconceicable to me. And I say that as someone who is old enough to tremember Christine Jorgenson, with the reaction, "Sure, this happens, what's the big deal?" while others around me are freaking out.

And things change. Vocabulary changes - Skip Gates once said, "My grandparents were Negro. My parents were colored. And me? I'm Black. I've lived through all of those terms and more. I'm not embarrassed to say I could use more guidance, whether I'm the juror or the offender (which I have been once or twice.)

Restorative justice is the best kind.
