Funny. I remember in the Sonoma County, CA trial of a drug dealer I got bumped by one of the attorneys--believe it was the prosecutor-- when I mentioned that I had been advocating for better resources for survivors/victims of crimes accessible through libraries. They had a law library in the building and the Judge mentioned that he had seen me around there.
I used to visit a lot of law libraries and other types of libraries to see what they had available for survivors/victims of crimes.
Ironically, there was a lawyer also in the jury pool. She lived in near Marin County's border with Sonoma County but worked in San Francisco. She was still in the jury pool when I got challenged and then left.
