sargyros2000 Posted October 25 Report Share Posted October 25 I was on jury duty once...they do give you $40 a day if your employer doesn't compensate you but you have to wait like 2 months for it...It was a lot of sitting around and when they called me as a perspective juror I botched all my answers on purpose so they'd dismiss me...it worked...I got to leave after 2 days...bring reading material!!! ------------------"deep within I'm shaken by the violence of exsisting for only you..."

smileygirl Posted October 25 Report Share Posted October 25 Ohh, Jury Duty was a Blast!(eyes rolling)I got called for Jury duty on the week I was supposed to go on vacation with my friends. Needless to say, i had to cancel my plans. I show up at the court house and wait and wait and wait. Ohh, what a surprise, my name gets called. 12 people including myself get put into a small room with 3 lawyers. They put all 12 people's name in a hat--no joke!6 people get called and mine is one of them. The 3 lawyers sit us down and ask us personal questions--when is our birthday, what we do, are we married, etc. After asking everyone questions--the retired cop next to me said that he would not feel comfortable on this case. so he was out and another person got their name picked from the hat. Then the skinny man on the left of me said that he does not beleive in lawyers and was excused. Then the laywers said anyone else? And I raised my hand and said I cannot be involved in this case because my mother works for a private invenstigator--whihc she does and I was off the hook. Whewwwwww!That was close. Looking forward to doing it again in another 4 years--which is actually now like 6 months away. too bad my vacation plans were ruined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dj joe Posted October 25 Report Share Posted October 25 I got lucky. I was an oncall juror. Which means I have to call in everyday for a week after 5:00pm. If my number is called I have to show up next morning at 9. Anyways, I never got called <<Phew>> but, it still counts as doing jury duty!!!------------------"Yesterday is history, tomorrow a mystery, today is a gift...that is why we call it the present" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
industyre Posted October 25 Report Share Posted October 25 I went last month. It varies depending on where you are. The Bronx, Queens, and Bklyn pay like $30 a day (if your job isn't paying you) The time out of work was cool, and they let you out by 3:00. I had to stay 3 days. Sat in one courtroom while they picked the jury and I was falling asleep. Wouldn't really want to be on a case! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickijay Posted October 25 Report Share Posted October 25 i got called for jury duty but i'm not a citizen so i didn't have to go. it's not that i don't want to be a citizen -- i just always other needs for the money it costs to become one. it's like "do i get my citizenship and run the risk of doing jury duty or go out this weekend?" hee hee. no, seriously, i will get it soon, promised! i'll do my part for this country!!------------------ Boink like a bunny!!!
