PROFILE

In my seven years at the Daily News, I've bounced from covering the toy industry to crime to just about everything in between, at least for a day or two. Now, I'm going to try to learn about the next part of the legal system: courts and the justice system. Since my prior experience is limited to one trial, a few bankruptcy stories and serving on jury duty twice, we'll see how things go. Come check in from time to time and tell me how I'm doing.

Gracias for your help and enjoy your trip.

Madonna pulls jury duty

This will probably be the last time you'll ever see me posting off a TMZ story, but a colleague passed this along and it's pretty funny.

Madonna, it seems, has jury duty. The gossip site tells us that she showed up for court wearing a Juicy Couture track suit (locally designed in Pacoima, baby) and sipping some Starbucks. I don't know if that passes for the business attire that the Los Angeles Superior Court requires, but, given her other choices of attire, I suppose that's a good choice.

Something tells me the attorneys will challenge her off any jury, but who knows, she may treat her fellow citizens to a little rendition of "Love Makes the World Go Round" as they prepare to render their verdict....

Don't judge a man 'til you've been standin' in his shoes
You know that we're all so quick to look away
'Cause it's the easy thing to do
You know that what I say is true

(Thanks to Val Kuklenski for the tip on this one)
