So You Got Jury Duty in Georgia? Don't Sweat It (Literally, You Might Be Stuck Inside)
Let's face it, jury duty isn't exactly a thrill-a-minute experience. But hey, it's your civic duty, and besides, who knows? You might end up on a case about a rogue llama on the loose (it's more likely a contract dispute, but let's dream big). Now, the summons arrived, and you're wondering what to wear to this whole court thing. Fear not, my friend, for I, your friendly neighborhood fashion (or lack thereof) consultant, am here to guide you through the sartorial maze of Georgia jury duty.
Dressing for the Judge, Not the Jury Box
While you might not be there to win Miss (or Mister) Congeniality, there is a dress code, and it's not exactly "jeans and a band T-shirt" day. Think more "business casual on a relaxed Friday." Here's the lowdown:
QuickTip: Don’t just scroll — process what you see.
Ditch the Daisy Dukes: Absolutely no shorts, tank tops, or clothing with offensive slogans. This is a courthouse, not a backyard barbecue.
Don the Dress Pants: For both men and women, dress pants are a safe bet. Khakis work too, but skip the ripped jeans (even if they're your lucky deliberation pants).
Button Up for Justice: A collared shirt or blouse shows you mean business (even if said business is waiting around for a case).
Dress Up or Dress Down, But Dress Respectable: A nice sweater over a button-down or a knee-length skirt and blouse are all perfectly acceptable.

Pro Tips for the Discerning Juror
Tip: Read carefully — skimming skips meaning.
Courtroom Climate Control is a Fickle Beast: Courthouses can be chilly, so bring a sweater or light jacket in case. You don't want to be shivering while deliberating someone's fate (dramatic, yes, but hey, you never know).
Comfort is Key: You might be sitting for long stretches, so choose clothes that won't leave you itching or regretting that extra slice of pecan pie at breakfast.
Leave the Bling at Home: Keep jewelry to a minimum. You don't want to be THAT juror whose jangly bracelets keep interrupting the judge.
Remember: You're not there to win a fashion show, but a little effort goes a long way. Dress appropriately, and you'll make a good impression on the judge and your fellow jurors (who knows, they might be the ones picking your lunch spot).
QuickTip: Re-reading helps retention.
