I know this poster's style, he is joking. They do not allow cell phones, computers, etc. in the jury rooms nor even in the courthouse as far as I can tell.

If I do get a case, it will probably have absolutely nothing to do with Criminal Law, Prisoners' Rights, and any other area of the law I might be familiar with in any way. They seem to want people that are the easiest ones for the attorneys to persuade to their points of view.
