The only time I got a paid day off for jury duty was back about 1993. That was one day as I was needed and sent home early afternoon. This judge reserves Friday's for catch up so it would only be a 4 day a week trial. On 04/13/2016 12:31 PM, Mike Dixon mdixon.6...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]

Cheer up, Bhairitu! They can call you again for the next three years, which they've done in my case. I can't believe they can't find a willing juror in SF. I think the problem is that many people ask for various excuses to avoid serving. So, in the end, the court runs out of people in the

I liked jury duty. Only had it once.It was civil trial that was only supposed to last about three day but ended up taking three weeks. Anyway, it was like a paid day off. UPS paid your full wages if you had jury duty. From: "Bhairitu noozg...@sbcglobal.net [FairfieldLife]"
