A quick definition of jury stress:

Term: Jury Stress

Definition: Jury stress is when a person feels uncomfortable and worried while serving on a jury. This can happen because their normal routine is disrupted, lawyers ask them difficult questions, they feel pressure to make a decision, or they see upsetting evidence. Sometimes, jurors can continue to feel sick or sad even after the trial is over. To help jurors feel better, courts are trying to give them more notice before they have to serve, explain things in simple language, and offer counseling services for free.

A more thorough explanation:

Jury stress is when a person who is serving on a jury feels physical discomfort and mental anxiety because of their jury duty. This stress can come from changes to their daily routine, difficult questions from lawyers, the pressure of making a decision during deliberations, and seeing disturbing evidence. Some jurors may even continue to feel sick or sad after their jury duty is over.

  • A juror who is used to going to the gym every morning may feel stressed because they can't keep up their normal routine during the trial.
  • A juror may feel anxious when a lawyer asks them a tough question that they don't know how to answer.
  • During deliberations, a juror may feel stressed because they want to make the right decision, but they're not sure what that is.
  • A juror may feel upset or disturbed after seeing graphic photos or hearing testimony about a violent crime.

These examples show how different aspects of jury duty can cause stress for jurors. It's important for courts to recognize this and try to make the experience as comfortable as possible for jurors.

Courts are working to make jury duty less stressful for jurors. They are giving jurors more notice about when they need to serve, and they are using plain language to explain the rules of the trial. Some courts also offer counseling services to jurors who are involved in high-profile cases or who are feeling particularly stressed.

She seems depressed. Started watching my story on instagram more. Here videos aren't getting a lot of views on YouTube. I offered her a job doing architecture for celebrity houses back in June but she turned it down. Probably regrets it now. Haven't spoken to her since she got arrested.

Idk, but if you like him, I hope you get him. The odds are not 0 that you run into him and get a chance with him if you like him.

It's cus i network well. I was in Citrin over in Santa Monica having dinner when this couple walked in and they were Icelandic and I had that Nordic connection to them so we chatted it up and then the Sommelier there was a long time friend of my family's and I found out these guys were like celebrity architects and I was all oh, I know this chick who is an architect who has like 1M tiktok followers and needs to rebrand and they were all oh, cool we would love to meet and hire her after learning she went to UCLA but then she just was like nah, I feel like failing for the next 6 months.

I give creatively inclined people a little more leeway with their behavior bc at least they’re interesting. I hate when someone is boring

Maybe. I wish they knew how to channel their creativity better. I feel I am a creative person too but I feel I know how to channel it into the drinks I make. She had some autistic savant gifts. Could draw/paint the most amazing shit.

This is like the most artsy restaurant I have ever been to. It was a total rip off but I will never have an experience like that again for at least a year.
hey all I think I must have asked this question here almost thrice and forgot to check but how do I see the stats to figure out if someone who applied in mid october to NYU but missed both waves so far still has a chance of getting in?
1:13
everyone literally needs to chill
1:13
just bc you missed 2 waves doesnt mean ur cooked. some people dont find out for 10 weeks
1:14
even 16 weeks ive seen
thats far more reassuring than all the reddit posts on this. Saw several posts saying im cooked at the end of the first wave
if i don't get a gulc decision end of this week im actually gonna crash out so bad
