I can clearly relate to David Tanklefsky’s memoire titled ‘Duties of Adulthood’ where Tanklefsky describes his experience in serving as a jury for his first time in a murder trial. Just before I turned 20, I was a member of a four-team jury for a secondary school science project competition in Buea, Cameroon.

It’s actually hard but he succeeded with it by
