Jury duty so far: sat in a room without a phone, sat in another room without a phone, got dismissed for lunch.

Huh... DC will pay $30 a day (plus $4 extra for transit fees), but that STILL isn't quite enough. I'll tell you how my own personal Jury Duty goes this June.

Am I going to have to hear you whine about this AGAIN in june? Jesus ;)

Yes, yes you will. You will sit there, listen to me bitch, and you will LIKE IT! Whether you care or not, you are going to shut up and listen because you are cheaper than a professional therapist and if you don't, you'll be sleeping on the couch for a week.

NYC is $40/day! And that's for grand jury, which is just 3 hours/day (for 4 weeks); i don't know how much it is for a trial jury.

(This information is correct as of 2004.)

I was sort of hoping to get picked for a grand jury. (I don't even know if grand jurors come out of the same selection pool or not.) But a criminal case is kinda cool too.

$40 for 3 hours is approaching real money! Sort of.

Yeah, I made $760 and it was the summer, when i wasn't expecting to earn anything! In NYC, grand jurors are a completely different selection pool -- it says "grand jury" on your summons.

NJ pays in that range after, I think, the second week. Possibly third. Before that, $5 a day. Makes ya wonder.
