Posted May 6, 2016 Yep. I gotta summons. 3rd time in like 5 years. Its like they are picking on me. Sadly I think this is the Civil court. So I wont get any murder trials. So now I gotta find something to read. Because they dont allow phones in the court. Any one else ever do jury duty? I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

Your employer is legally obligated to give you the time off, and they can't reprimand you for it (eg: fire you). HOWEVER, they are not obligated to pay you while you're away, and the Court only pays you for service after 10 days of work, and it's only $40 per day (If a case lasts longer than 50 "work" days, the pay jumps to $100 per day). But you can basically be forced to take time off work for a week and a half with no reimbursement. Some companies have a policy for paying for jury duty, but it's not mandatory.

Posted May 7, 2016 If you don't like being in a jury then watch this video (or read this article). It will tell you something which might prevent you from being in a jury ever again: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, very similar in the UK. You can claim lost earnings through court with proof of it, and they will cover expense like travel, parking and food. You're eligible for extended compensation for long cases, but usually you're covered for about 7-10 days.

Posted May 7, 2016 In the US you get $50 per day and you can't be penalized by your work. I was on a 2 week trial a few years ago. It sucked. 01010010 01101111 01100010 01001101 01100001 01100011 01010010 01100001 01100101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Michigan at least in Wayne County. We get $25 for the first day. And $40 for any day after that. Plus 10 cents a mile from your Zip code. So its not like they are asking for you to do it for free. Thats the upside. Im unemployed. So If I can make a few dollars by giving up some of my time then ok. Only thing that sucks is No Cellphones are allowed. Unless your a court officer. Which means Im going to be board as fuck. I just want to sit back and watch the world burn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 7, 2016 So glad I've never received a "summon" for jury duty. It's ridiculous how they expect people to just drop everything in their lives to do some unpaid jury duty... They really need to change this stuff.

The reasoning for this, is that every one has an equal chance of keeping the justice system fair for all. I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

Only thing that sucks is No Cellphones are allowed. Unless your a court officer. Which means Im going to be board as fuck. I guess it's only $50 per day in Massachusetts. I make significantly more than that per day.

If so what are the requirements to become or get selected for Jury Duty That depends on the U.K.. Here in the US is used to be Voters Registration was the pool. Now they get it from every where. DMV, Tax Record ect. To my understanding its computerized. Because I got choose. I wont be put back in the pool for 12 months. If you serve on the jury they take you out of the pool longer. I think you can volunteer to be a juror also. Im not sure how UK picks people for Jury duty though. I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.
