Oh man I must be the only one that loves jury duty. I get paid (by my employer) is probably a big part of it, but I get to watch movies and read or play video games and then go to lunch and have some drinks and come back and cut out early all while experiencing some of the greatest people watching the city has to offer hell yes.

Obviously we need a law that everyone gets paid their full salary for jury duty this shit is insane otherwise.

Are you unemployed? Cause missing out on 8 hours of work to "get paid" 15 dollars (Which doesn't even cover parking) isn't my idea of a good time.

Edited for clarity, but my employer pays me my normal wage which should absolutely be the law.

Okay, that is baller. Yeah, in that case I too would be trying to get jury duty all the time.

His/Her employer pays them for the day. I'm sure they don't care about the $15.

I like it too, is it legal to serve more than once a year?

I believe you can volunteer but I am not sure how often.

Damn. Any chance you can negotiate with them? It is not like you have a choice.

If not, you can always right back to jury duty and tell them you cannot come due to this.

I felt the same way until I was put on a jury. It was a murder and there was video of it. That's why I hate it now.
