Some years ago I was a member of a jury in an attempted murder trial. Got the train in one morning, sat down next to a chap who had his laptop open, being nosy I had a peek and realised that the documents he had open were some form of legal papers. Looked up and it was one of the defence lawyers! I changed seat as soon as it wasn’t too obvious. Had visions of the trial collapsing on that one.
