[QUOTE="Aries, post: 4282967, member: 44328"] I do, but it was a long time ago and probably depends on what district court you are in. We reported for an orientation. Then, best I remember, we called a phone number every Friday to see if our name was on a list to report Monday. Sometimes they would send you home Monday morning, sometimes you would go into a court room as part of the jury pool, and they would interview random candidates until they had their jury seated. That might take multiple days. Then you either went home, or served on the jury. I want to say it was for three months. They paid x number of dollars for every day you went in regardless of how long you had to stay, and mileage, and I think parking. Sweet deal for me, I was in an outside job, it was summer, and every time I went to court I got the stipend on top of regular salary and didn't have to work in the heat. I did sit on two juries though. It was fun and interesting.... until deliberations. This world would be SOOOO much better if everyone just thought like me!! [/QUOTE]
