It is bad ju-ju to tell the court system to take a hike.

Times are changing, I suppose. I find it strange that the authorities are relying on email to address a potential juror. “Gee, your Honor, I never got your email”.

When I was called to jury duty there was a parking garage that I had to pay to use.

But my employer continued with my pay and the court paid the )10-$12 per day. The parking fee was less than the court house pay. So I was not out any money.

I enjoyed the week at jury duty in an air conditioned room with nice chairs instead of being on my feet in a summer hot factory.

I had no complaints.

However, the young mother with 3 kids was not as lucky. She worked for a small shop that did not pay for jury duty. I also knew who here boss was and he was not hurting for money.

Since you are being paid by your employer and the court you are not going to be out any of your own money, so unless you are going to do some of the things suggested like write letters and otherwise get involve for making changes for those who are not getting paid, like the young mother, or in some other way fall on your sword for the ones who do not get the deal you are getting, I do not understand why you are so against doing something that is a needed part of our society.

I don’t know how prospective jurors are selected where you are at but around here if you have a car resistered in your name you are eligible to be called as that is where the pool of prospective jurors are picked from.
