I went in for jury duty this summer and ended up getting dismissed. Still spent like 5 hours waiting around. The free wifi was mediocre but I didn't have any issues with blocked websites. Maybe they changed it?

The real pro strat is... bring a book.

The book you should bring if you wanna get dismissed is either We Own This City or I Got a Monster. Of course this is Baltimore so they often just take warm bodies.

Hilariously, I didn't get dismissed even though my employer was a civil justice org that, among other things, has a huge criminal defense and civil rights component.

As a teacher in the city, plus a voracious bookworm, I agree with this!
