I received notice that I had to report to NY Supreme Court last week or receive a $1000 fine. It turns out I didn't have to report for jury duty, I only had to report to find out if I'm qualified. I'm qualified and will be hearing from them in 3 to 4 months. I served 5 years ago. 6 months after I served they changed the qualification from every 4 years to every 6 years. According to the county clerk I am qualified this year because the 6 year exemption was passed after I served.
I also received a qualification questionnaire from United States District Court. Hopefully NY state will call me first. The 9/11 terrorist trial may take place in US District Court Southern District of NY. Both Court houses are in lower Manhattan.
The Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY) is spearheading an effort to move the trial from lower Manhattan. Lower Manhattan’s business district is vital to our city’s economy and quality of life for all New Yorkers. The heightened security for the 9/11 trial will burden the area’s economy and greatly impose on the lives of its residents. The trial needs to be moved away from this large, vital urban center to a less populated location.
