More on that later, I suppose. For now, I would like to give you a profile of Los Altos (or at least the 94022 zip code) from the Claritas jury selection service on Lexis Nexis. This is the census information supposedly most helpful to trial lawyers in assessing a potential juror's fitness to serve. As Gunn grad and fellow UCLA Law student Josh Mukhopadhyay pointed out when he showed this to me today, people pay a lot of money to have this information.

Congratulations on the DoJ job. If you bump into Alberto Gonzales in the hallway, can you take him aside for a minute and explain the concept of habeas corpus?
Haha, how much did they spend to get statistics like that? I could have done that by sitting drinking a jamab juice and counting all the mommies in SUVs. I think my family is the only one in town without a mercedes or bmw, but Bruce has got one (and used to have two?)!
