Default Re: an ethical question.

I don't know about the ethics. It really seems no worse than selling Girl Scout cookies -- some parents sell tremendous amounts by basically blackmailing co-workers to buy. At least this isn't a contest and all the kids are doing whatever they can to earn the funds for the trip.

I would, however, question the legality of it. Unless Florida is vastly different from California (and most states), government employees can't solicit others on government property, especially not jurors.

Hope the baked goods were good. Probably beat the food at the snack bar or cafeteria.
