Re: Jury duty From: Dean Huffman .

I served jury duty a couple of years ago in Illinois. It was a criminal trial. I was absolutely amazed by the poor quality of the prosecution. Horrendous! The initian vote was 11 - 0 to acquit. About two or three more ballots were all it took to get a "not guilty". I suspect that the reason it went to court was that the defense attorney knew that the prosctuion had nothing and was hopeful that the jury would realize that. The governor of Illinois served on a jury a couple of years later, while he was still in office. His was a civil case. - - - - Date: Tue, 20 Dec 2005 14:56:09 -0600 Subject: Re: Jury duty I "served" earlier this year. My employer wrote a letter, but it didn't fly. I have been called about 10 times before, and always got out. My sister the attorney also had to serve recently.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
