Finding Government Websites

Hi All,  

Just what you wanted to wake up to on a Monday morning!  Government websites!  How cool is that?

Welcome back to the week - and to start out we have an interesting site titled, 'GovEngine.com'. 

Basically the site is a directory of United States federal, state and local government websites. Also included are links to official executive, legislative and judicial branches of government.

The homepage has links to Federal Courts, State Government, State Courts, Local Government and other state and federal government resources. 

The site is easy to navigate, simple to use and has a nice interface.  

Regards, 
Stu

Jury Duty: Your Civic Duty!

Hi All,

Jury duty.  The name of it can strike fear in the hearts of citizens all over Nassau County.  You fear that you will be dumped into a huge auditorium waiting for your name to be called.  And then, when your name is called, you fear that you will be cross-examined and put on a deathly dull case...Ahhh...

Well fear not.  Jury duty is definitely NOT all that.  Really.  And I know - because I just got off jury duty recently.  And let me tell you it was easy-peasy, interesting, and easily accessible by highway.  Oh, and there was awesome parking - and it was free.

So...jury duty in Nassau County is located in Mineola, New York The address of the court is 100 Supreme Court Drive in Mineola.  A central phone number to reach the court is 516-493-3400. 

Click on this link to visit the Supreme Court website.  Once you are on the site there rare links to Courts, General District Information, Juror Information, Forms, Specialty Parts, Phone Directories and Statewide Information.

When you click on the juror tab, there are a few other interesting links including NY Juror.gov, Grand Jury, Excuses/Postponements, and Directions to the Court.

At the NY Juror.gov website there are links for the Qualification Questionnaire, How to Postpone Your Jury Service, To Be a Juror in New York State, General Information, Have You Moved?, Accessibility, Handbooks and Resources. 

So you see, there is nothing to annoyed about or annoyed with jury duty.  Its a great way to do your civic responsibility in a clean, friendly, accessible, pleasant environment!

Enjoy the links.
