Question

Tomorrow I have Jury duty, and I was wondering about the process that I will be going through. What do I where, what should i expect, and how much do i get paid, and anything else that should be known. thanks

Answer 1

Take a book and/or a few magazines with you. You will sign in, then they may have you watch a movie/video about jury duty. You will sit around for awhile, then some names will be called, if you are called you will be escorted with other potential jurors to a court room. The judge will explain what the case is and ask a few general questions to see if some people are or are not good for this particular case. You may be used as a juror if you are not a juror you are sent back to the waiting room and wait to see if you get called again. You get a break for lunch, then it's back to  the waiting room to sit and wait. Mostly it is very boring. Good Luck

Answer 2

You get paid squat, will be bored to death 75% of the time, get to sit on hard chairs, freeze or roast and listen to a bunch of nonsense, but somewhere in there hopefully, you help some poor s*****k get justice.

Don't drink a ton  of anything before you go in, remember your deodorant, brush your teeth and don't fall for any BS.

.. oh, and thanks for not shirking your civic duty!
