[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 884822, member: 12570"] Jury duty pays $40 per day where I live. Most employers do not pay their employees their daily wage when they have to serve. This may be why most folks don't want to be bothered and those who are chosen want to get it over with as soon as possible. I think another reason may be that most of us don't understand all of the procedural issues which must be addressed in order to ensure there will not be a mistrial. I served on a jury a few years ago; in fact, there were two of us UPSers on the same jury. It was a he said/she said dispute in which both participants appeared to be regulars in this court room. We spent two days listening to testimony and then spent 30 minutes reaching our decision. It was a total waste of everyone's time but I'll take a 3 day mini vacation any day. [/QUOTE]
